Protecting Fathers' Rights in Custody Disputes
Although Texas law is completely neutral as to the rights of fathers and mothers in any family law dispute concerning child custody, visitation, child support or relocation, most dads know that their rights are sometimes harder to enforce in court than they are to understand on paper.
If you're concerned that your rights as a father will be difficult to enforce in court, turn to a divorce lawyer who knows how to assert your interests effectively both in negotiations and contested hearings. Contact the Law Offices of Wendy Wood in Houston or Bryan.
We know how to recognize and overcome bias against fathers' rights
Our experience with the resolution of fathers and children's issues in the family law courts of southeast Texas has given us a good understanding of the situations where you're likely to be at a disadvantage. Our ability to educate opponents and judges about your legal rights as a father can steer the matter back where it belongs: the facts surrounding the best interests of the children and the relative strengths and weaknesses of each spouse as a parent.
In most situations where fathers' rights are likely to be an issue, we don't mind telling you that having a woman represent you can go far toward neutralizing bias and creating new advantages of your own in negotiations, examination of witnesses, mediation or contested hearings in court.
