Dallas Father’s Rights & Getting Child Support

Knowledgeable Texas Family Law Firm

In the state of Texas, fathers are entitled to the exact same parental rights as mothers.  This means that if a father has joint or sole custody of his child or children, he may be entitled to collect child support from the mother of his children.  In order to get child support from the mother, fathers will have to go through the arduous legal process that mothers must go through when trying to collect payments.  During the legal process, a judge will become involved and will review certain things before awarding child support payments to a father or a mother.  Some of these things include, but are not limited to:

• each  parents’ income
• the amount of children the parents have together
• the amount of time in which each parent has physical possession of the child

After the judge reviews the aforementioned factors and other relevant information, he/she will award child support to either the mother or the father.  However, it is a known fact that parents who have sole custody or who have a larger percentage of physical custody of their children are more likely to be awarded child support than non-custodial parents.
