How Is Paternity Determined in Texas?

In the state of Texas, paternity can be established either by a court order or by a voluntary acknowledgment. If the mother and father agree that the father is the child's biological father, they can sign a voluntary acknowledgment of paternity. This document may also include information about the child's birth, the mother's medical history, and other important information. If the father does not agree to paternity, the mother will need to file a paternity suit in court. The court will then determine paternity.

It is important to note that even if a man is not listed on the child's birth certificate, he may still have legal rights to the child. For example, he may still be able to request visitation and custody if he proves that his relationship with the child would be in the child's best interest.

Paternity Disputes

In some cases, the mother may question the father's paternity due to infidelity or other circumstances. A Houston family lawyer can assist in resolving these disputes.
