Texas Child Custody Lawyers

For the majority of parents, the visitation or possession schedule they will have with their children is the most important thing they will decide on. A custody attorney in Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Granbury, Midland, Plano, or San Antonio from Goranson Bain Ausley can help you hold productive discussions about what schedule is best for you and your children.

Establishing parental rights can be a challenging process, especially for LGBT couples. Factors that go into establishing parental rights include marital status, who the biological parent is, and how the child was conceived. An experienced Goranson Bain Ausley custody lawyer in Dallas or any of our other locations can walk you through this complex process.

For unmarried parents, there is value in establishing paternity, including setting up visitation and child support. With the introduction of blood and DNA tests, paternity can be determined with virtually 100 percent accuracy. While testing is easy, you’ll want one of our experienced custody lawyers in Texas to help you through the process.

Our custody lawyers in Dallas, Austin, Fort Worth, Granbury, Midland, Plano, and San Antonio listen carefully to you to get to know the ages and needs of your children, both parents’ work schedules and availability, and your ability to keep to certain schedules so that your children’s lives are minimally disrupted. We’ll make sure you understand the standard possession order provided by the Texas Family Code and help you decide whether this schedule will work for your family. If not, we’ll help you craft a schedule that does.

Grandparents can play a pivotal role in their grandchild’s life, which is why every state has some form of grandparent visitation. In Texas, a court will grant grandparent visitation if it’s in the best interest of the child and if specific circumstances exist. When it comes to grandparents gaining custody of their grandchildren, the situation gets even more complex. A Goranson Bain Ausley custody attorney in Dallas, TX, or any of our other locations, can help you navigate the ins and outs of this situation.
