Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Re: grandchild

If the alleged father is willing to pursue his legal rights, he will probably get a chance to be involved in the child's life. The first way he can involve himself is by paying child support and retroactive child support for the child, which the Court should order once the formal parent-child relationship has been established. His access to the child would probably begin in supervised and measured ways, moving up to eventual standard possession order visitation, unless there is some reason he should not have such access. I am a board certified specialist in the field of family law here in the Houston area. Please contact me directly if you want to discuss the options further.

Re: grandchild

Based on what you have written, it appears that the alleged father is pursuing his rights. First, the father should begin involvement in the child's life by paying child support and retroactive child support. Once the paternity is establish and the parent-child relationship is in place, the court will generally allow supervised visitation for a period and then allow the father to eventually move into a standard visitation plan. If my local family law firm can assist you with this or any other legal matter, please contact my paralegal Tina ([email protected]) to arrange for an intial consultation.

Truthfully while what Messrs. Zively and Brashear say is true, it's not really your problem. Your daughter should know that the baby daddy contacted you, then it's hers to deal with. She may be ready to pursue child support against him.

If your daughter would like to talk with me about the situation, have her call my office for an appointment. I do not charge for initial appointments.
