Paternity Issues

Texas Paternity Law Attorney

A paternity action is initiated to establish a parental relationship with a child. The action, if successful, confers legal responsibilities and parenting rights on the father. Men might press for paternity rights in order to gain visitation rights and legal rights over a child. Mothers often press a paternity action in order to enforce financial responsibility on the father of her child.

I am attorney Cynthia Tracy. I have nearly twenty years of experience in the area of paternity law, including almost ten years as a Managing Attorney for the Texas Attorney General's office. I also served for three years as an associate judge in Ohio. From my office in Clear Lake City, I represent clients in Houston and throughout the Gulf Coast bay area of Texas.

Mothers

If you are unmarried and pregnant I can help you establish paternity to receive financial child support from your baby's father. The child does not have to be born in order to take a paternity action. Because of strict timelines in the paternity process, it is essential that you meet with an experienced paternity lawyer as soon as possible.
