Fathers' Rights
Fathers are still treated like backup parents. We cut through the bias and fight to put your rights front and center.
Your Role as a Father Matters
Challenging bias with precision and resolve.
The court system isn’t always neutral. Fathers often walk in presumed guilty — less nurturing, less involved, or less essential. We don’t accept that.
At Radler Law, we dig into the facts, present your role clearly, and fight to shift the outcome. If you’re committed to being present in your child’s life, we’re committed to making sure the court sees that too.
We fight for your right to stay present, involved, and protected.
Fathers walk into court already behind. I build strategies that push them forward because their relationship with their kids is worth the fight.
— Joseph F. Radler III, Founder
Do you know the full extent of your legal rights in Texas?
Key Rights Every Father Should Know
In Texas, fathers have equal legal rights as mothers under the Texas Family Code when it comes to custody, visitation, and child support. The law prioritizes the best interests of the child, ensuring fathers can maintain a meaningful relationship with their children. Whether you’re married or unmarried, establishing paternity is key to securing these rights.
Legal equality on paper doesn’t always mean fairness in court.
Challenges Fathers Face
Are bias or denied access holding you back?
Common Challenges
Fathers in Texas often face legal and emotional hurdles—bias in court, paternity disputes, and restricted visitation. We confront these challenges head-on to protect your rights and role as a parent.
When co-parenting breaks down, conflicts over decisions like schooling or medical care can put your relationship with your child at risk. We provide strategic advocacy, mediation support, and connect you with resources like counseling or co-parenting classes to help you stay focused and prepared.
