Paternity Attorney Austin, TX

When a child's welfare is at stake, we advocate taking every measure possible to ensure that the child receives all support available. Child custody, support, and visitation rights are common concerns for married parents in a divorce, but the same issues apply when a child is born out of wedlock. For adults who have a child outside of a marital relationship, the question of parentage and paternity testing is the first and most crucial step before determining child support and related legal obligations in a suit affecting the parent-child relationship (“SAPCR”). The Morrison Law Firm represents women and men who wish to remove any doubt and clearly define a child's parentage under Texas paternity laws.

Even though simple paternity testing establishes parentage, facing the possibility of a "suit affecting parent/child relationship" (SAPCR) can be emotional and often complicated. Our family law specialists at the Morrison Law firm can guide you through a SAPCR with confidence. With over 29 years' experience in paternity, DNA testing, and other family law pursuits, attorney Greg Morrison provides thorough, trusted representation both in and out of court.

We are paternity lawyers serving Austin, Hays, and Williamson Counties, as well as neighboring communities throughout Central Texas.

Contact the Morrison Law Firm for paternity testing and related assistance involving:

• Child support

• Visitation rights

• Fathers' rights

• Grandparents' rights

• Modification of orders

• Enforcement of orders

Once paternity is established, Texas fathers become responsible for sharing the cost of their child's basic needs like food, clothing, education, healthcare costs, insurance premiums, and more. In addition to these valuable resources, paternity judgments usually also grant visitation rights and custodial rights to the father. Therefore, it's often the biological father who files a paternity action to establish his right to be involved in his child's life.

It's time to be a part of your child's life. Timing is critical. Each day in dispute is another day you're not sharing with your child. We are here to help you with paternity testing and other family law matters.
