What is Paternity?

Paternity is the legal recognition of a man as the father of a child. In Texas, establishing paternity provides both parents and the child with important rights, including:

  • The child’s right to receive financial support, medical benefits, and inheritance
  • The father’s right to custody or visitation
  • The ability to make legal decisions about the child’s education, healthcare, and upbringing
  • Access to the child’s medical and school records

How to Establish Paternity in Texas

Paternity can be established in one of three ways:

  1. Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity (AOP) – Signed by both parents and filed with the Texas Vital Statistics Unit.
  2. Court-Ordered Paternity – When parents do not agree, one party can file a legal petition. The court may order DNA testing and determine custody, support, and parenting time.
  3. Presumption of Paternity – In some cases, such as if the parents are married when the child is born, the law may presume paternity.

Common Paternity Legal Issues We Handle

  • Petitioning to establish or dispute paternity
  • DNA testing coordination
  • Filing or contesting a SAPCR (Suit Affecting the Parent-Child Relationship)
  • Child custody and visitation agreements
  • Child support enforcement and modifications

Whether you are a mother or father, protecting your relationship with your child starts with understanding and asserting your rights.
