Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
Can you tell me if an unmarried pregnant girl can be made to move back to Texas, (by the father of her child), if she moves to have the baby in the same state where her parents live. The baby was conceived in Texas and she would be moving to live with her parents as the father of her baby has been known to be violent. If the father were to file a paternity suit in Texas would the girl be made to come back to live in Texas?
1 Answer from Attorneys
He cannot file the paternity suit until after the baby is born.
While pregnant, you can do whatever you want to do since you are not married to him.
No one can stop him from filing a lawsuit and you would have to hire an attorney to defend it. Otherwise, the Texas courts won't know that you had moved from Texas. So if you need to hire an attorney use www.avvo.com to find a good one.
Happy pregnancy.
