Do fathers have rights in Texas?
Do fathers have rights in Texas?
In Texas, both parents may share legal custody. Fathers who wish to have parental rights must first establish paternity. Those who fail to do so have essentially no rights when it comes to child custody and visitation. Likewise, the legal parent has no avenue through which to obtain child support.
Can I stop my ex’s new girlfriend from seeing my child?
As long as there is no inappropriate behavior with the children (i.e., abuse or risky behaviors such as excessive drinking or drug use), the ability of the other parent to somehow block or place a restraint on children’s interactions with the new paramour is limited.
Can my ex dictate who is around my child?

Can I keep my son from his father?
The short answer is no. It is never a good idea to purposely prevent a parent from parenting time with a child. However it is a good idea to set boundaries.
Can a parent refuse to let other parent see child?
It is not open to a parent to say to the child, “you go if you want to”, or “you make up your own mind”; If a parent persists in the belief that the Order is wrong, then it is for that parent to convince a Court to change the Order. Short of that action, compliance is required.
Can a father get 50 50 custody?
There is no rule that children must spend equal or “50:50” time with each parent. If you and your former partner agree on the future arrangements for children, you do not have to go to court. You can make a parenting agreement or obtain ‘consent orders’ for parenting orders approved by a court.
Is split custody a good idea?
Although critics of shared parenting concede that children whose parents share physical custody enjoy many advantages, they reason that these children do better because their parents have more money and less conflict, not because their children spend nearly equal time with each parent.
