Prosper Parental Rights Lawyer
Skilled Legal Representation for Families in Collin & Denton Counties
When a marriage or relationship dissolves, it can have a ripple effect throughout the entire family. Children of divorce are exposed to a range of emotions from their parents and may struggle to cope with such rapid changes. Custody disputes often arise as both parents try to negotiate who will take care of the children moving forward. Grandparents may also become involved if they feel they should be granted visitation rights or custody of grandchildren.
The dissolution of a family can be highly traumatic for all members, especially children who are suddenly faced with a new living arrangement in an unfamiliar environment. Research has found that young people affected by divorce are more likely to experience behavioral problems, depression, and anxiety. Other effects include poor academic performance, substance abuse, and social withdrawal. For these reasons, parental rights and grandparents' rights must be discussed in mediation before finalizing the divorce agreement.
Rudd Legal is here to help families through this difficult process. Our attorney understands the emotional toll that breaks ups can cause on all parties involved and works diligently to ensure that all family members have open communication about their rights and feelings. We strive to create a safe space where everyone can express their concerns without fear of reprisal so that decisions regarding custody and visitation are made in accordance with what is in the best interests of the children at hand.

Our attorney has experience in advocating for parents and grandparents and will work to protect your rights as well as those of your children.

Paternity Cases
In cases where the parental rights are not firmly established, a father may have to take legal action to establish paternity. Doing so will give him the right to request visitation, custody, and financial support for his child regardless of whether or not the mother agrees with this action.
To get started, the father must file an Original Petition to Adjudicate Parentage with the court. Once filed, a hearing will be scheduled for a judge to make a final ruling on parental rights and responsibilities.
At Rudd Legal, we have extensive experience handling paternity disputes in Texas. We understand the complexities and emotions that come with these cases, and our team has the knowledge to help bring clarity to this situation.
Our attorney can assist you with the following:
- Representation during hearings and appeals
- Ensuring paternity tests are performed correctly and in a timely fashion
- Legal advice to establish parental rights
- Negotiation of child support orders
