Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
Can a father get joint custody of his 9 month old baby just to get out of paying child support, when she is well taken care of by the mother?
1 Answer from Attorneys
In Texas it is PRESUMED that the parents will have joint custody of a child.
So, that is not the right question to ask.
Having JOINT CUSTODY will NOT eliminate a parent paying CHILD SUPPORT.
You definately need to talk to an attorney to discuss parental rights, duties and obligations. You definately DO NOT UNDERSTAND a person's rights, duties and obligations.
JOINT CUSTODY does not mean that a person will NOT pay child support.
LASTLY, joint custody does NOT mean that a person would have a child custody of a 9 month old baby 50% of the time.

If you can't afford $1 a minute to talk...then you are in REAL TROUBLE.
