Experienced Texas SAPCR Attorney

Suit Affecting the Parent-Child Relationship

Sometimes children are conceived to unmarried persons, yet legal rights must be established in order to have any real say in the raising of the child.  Either parent has the standing or ability to file this type of family law case.

Once parentage is established, the original SAPCR action can proceed to the court, where conservatorship and other parental rights, such as the awarding of visitation and child support payments, will be established.  If you need a Houston SAPCR lawyer, please contact Midence & Skillern.

Understanding What is Legally Expected of Parents

While acquiring parental rights can be a great joy, there are also numerous responsibilities that come with the acquisition. For example, you will be expected to help the child by making regular child support payments and health insurance coverage.

The responsibility of being a parent is hard enough. The task does not get any easier when the legal system is involved. The courts use a number of acronyms, such as SPO, JMC, SMC, and the law can be extremely confusing.
