Key Considerations for Fathers in Texas Family Law Cases
Fathers face specific challenges in family law proceedings. Travis helps you understand your rights, the standards courts apply, and how to build the strongest possible case.
Key Considerations
Establishing Paternity
Before a father can assert custody or visitation rights in Texas, paternity must be legally established. Travis helps fathers understand how to establish paternity and why doing so matters for long-term parental rights.
Conservatorship and Decision-Making Rights

Possession and Parenting Time
Travis helps fathers seek fair parenting schedules - including extended possession and alternatives to the standard possession order when circumstances support them.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fathers' Rights in Texas
Yes. Texas law does not favor either parent based on gender. Courts make custody decisions based on the best interest of the child, and fathers have the same legal standing as mothers to seek conservatorship, parenting time, and other parental rights. In practice, outcomes depend on the facts of the case and how effectively each parent presents their involvement.
A father seeking custody should demonstrate consistent involvement in the child's life, a stable home environment, and a willingness to support the child's relationship with the other parent. Courts also consider the child's current routines and any history of domestic issues. Travis helps fathers build and present the strongest possible case.
If you have a court order establishing parenting time and the other parent is not complying, you may have grounds for an enforcement action. Travis can help you understand your options and take appropriate legal steps to enforce your rights.
Yes. The standard possession order is a default, not a ceiling. Fathers can seek extended possession or a customized schedule if the circumstances support it. Travis helps fathers pursue arrangements that reflect their actual involvement and their child's needs.
