Houston, Texas, Paternity Law Attorney
The law firm of Kerr, Hendershot & Cannon provides advice and representation for men and women wishing to establish paternity of a child. Whether you are a custodial mother seeking child support from the father, or a father seeking parenting time with your child, our family law attorneys are ready to help. Through the court process, people can be ordered to submit to DNA tests. Our attorneys also represent men who seek to prove that they are not the father of a child and should, therefore, not be compelled to pay child support.
From our offices in Houston, we represent clients throughout the region, including Harris County, Montgomery County, Liberty County, Brazoria County, Fort Bend County and Waller County. Our firm is efficient, cost-effective and knowledgeable about the expectations for paternity testing and child support enforcement in each county.
Contact us to discuss the specifics of your paternity law needs. In addition to paternity testing, our lawyers can help you with a full range of services relating to child custody and child support for custodial and non-custodial parents, including:
- Enforcement of support and custody orders
- Relocation requests and prevention
- Grandparents' rights and access
- Modifications of parenting schedule and child support
- Protective orders and restraining orders
- Military paternity issues
If There Is ANY Doubt That You Are the Father, See Us
We often receive calls from men asking about their rights when a mother threatens them with a paternity lawsuit. In many cases, the threat of costly litigation is enough for some men to agree to pay child support. Once child support payments begin, however, the court is reluctant to end them, even if the man later proves that he is not the father of the child. We recommend a proactive approach. If a woman has talked to you about paternity of her child, talk to us right away. Let us represent your rights throughout the process.
