Texas Mothers’ Rights Lawyer – Legal Advocacy for Mothers and Their Children
As a mother, you want what’s best for your child—and that includes maintaining a strong, stable, and nurturing relationship with them. At the Law Office of Bryan Fagan, PLLC, we stand with mothers across Texas to protect their parental rights and ensure they have a powerful voice in custody, visitation, and child support matters.
Whether you’re going through a divorce, seeking full custody, or defending your rights in a contested legal battle, our attorneys are here to support and fight for you.
Understanding Mothers’ Rights in Texas
Texas family law is gender-neutral, meaning mothers and fathers are treated equally under the law. However, the reality is that many mothers still face legal and emotional challenges when trying to secure fair outcomes in custody and family law cases.
Our legal team is committed to helping mothers:
- Obtain primary or joint custody (conservatorship)
- Create reasonable visitation (possession) schedules
- Secure child support
- Make critical decisions about education, medical care, and upbringing
- Enforce court orders when the other parent fails to comply
We understand how overwhelming these issues can be—and we’re here to guide you through them with compassion, strength, and a clear legal strategy.
Custody Rights for Mothers in Texas
Texas uses the term conservatorship rather than custody, and both parents may be named joint managing conservators. However, one parent may be given the right to determine the child’s primary residence and receive child support.
Our firm works with mothers who seek:
- Primary conservatorship (where the child primarily lives with the mother)
- Joint custody with balanced decision-making
- Protective orders in cases involving abuse or neglect
- Modifications to existing custody orders when circumstances change
Whether you’re establishing custody for the first time or modifying an existing order, our team will prioritize your child’s best interests and your parental rights.
Child Support for Mothers
Many mothers rely on child support to help cover the costs of raising their children. Texas courts calculate support using state guidelines based on the other parent’s income. We help mothers:
- Establish initial child support orders
- Enforce support if payments are missed
- Modify support when financial situations change
- Ensure children’s needs—medical, educational, emotional—are met
We also assist mothers in navigating cases where the other parent is attempting to reduce their financial obligations unjustly.
Protecting Mothers from Parental Alienation or Interference
If the other parent is attempting to turn your child against you, limiting your contact, or ignoring the terms of your custody agreement, legal action may be necessary. Our firm takes these situations seriously and will move quickly to enforce your rights and protect your relationship with your child.
