When you and your significant other decide to break things off, it will undoubtedly impact the child you share with your future ex. If you have a child but are not married to your ex-partner, you may naturally be concerned about the child custody laws in Texas for unmarried people. Unmarried people still have the same legal obligations to their children, and whether you are married or not, the court can still issue orders regarding your children. Custody cases involving unmarried parents, however, can prove more complex than child custody cases between divorcing parents. Following a divorce, both parents generally have equal rights to their children, but when a couple is unmarried and separates, the father can only seek the paternal right to custody by establishing paternity. With over 75 years of experience in family law cases, our team of skilled attorneys at Mims Ballew Hollingsworth | Forth Worth Family Law is dedicated to providing our clients with the highest quality of legal representation. Our lawyers possess a deep understanding of the complexities involved in child custody cases for unmarried parents and are prepared to help you make informed decisions regarding your child’s future.
"I got lucky enough to be referred to Kara’s law office from a friend of a friend. I was going into the unknown of trying to get custody of my daughter and hired Kara’s law office to help me. Kara was professional, friendly and most of all everything I needed for this emotional endeavor. She communicated thoroughly during long periods of silence from the court, prepared me for what to expect, was knowledgeable and was ready at every point during my process. I honestly don’t think my result would have been the same with any other attorney. Would 1000% recommend."
