Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
What rights does the biological father of a child have?
The biological father of my unborn child is going out of his way to be difficult in all the decisions. In reality, I don't want him involved at all, or as little as possible. I don't think he will settle down and he is causing my fience and I a large amount of stress. My question is what are his rights as the father. How much do I have to work with him on everything. I would like to avoid going to court because I can't afford the costs but he is an unfit father surronding himself with people of shady character and involving himself with things tha are or are close to being illegal. Are there ways to remove any rights he may have without going to court?

Re: What rights does the biological father of a child have?
No you cannot just "terminate" his rights.
In fact, in Harris County, it is extremely difficult to terminate his parental rights even if he agrees to terminate his rights. The only way, usually, is to have a "New" daddy willing to step into his shoes.
That said, if he is a danger to the minor child, you can get his visitation supervised or (rarely) suspended until he fulfills the Judge's requirements (tests drug free, anger management classes, etc.)
I offer a free phone consultation to quote you my prices.
Basically, my deposit is $1,000 then a weekly payment plan based on your household income and the number of people in the household.
If he is a danger to the child, it will be money well spent.
You will need to have a certified copy of the last court document signed by a Judge. That will be the starting point. You will also need specific and detailed examples of what he is doing -- being "difficult" is not enough. Independent witnesses are wonderful to have to testify in Court. School teachers make wonderful witnesses!
Good luck!
