Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

1. Men often behave badly when they find out they are going to be a father. Then later become great fathers after the child is born. I've seen it happen many, many times. The judges have seen this too.

2. If he files for paternity, you have to go to court and address it. Save your money now and plan to hire an attorney. FYI: He has 18 years to file for paternity and access to this child.

3. Joint custody is "presumed" in the best interest of the child. Since you don't understand what joint custody means in the State of Texas, you need to talk to an attorney what exactly joint custody means in Texas.

4. Take a deep breathe! You need to take care of yourself to have a healthy baby. You might want to sit down with an experienced family law attorney NOW and begin to understand family law in Texas so that you don't worry yourself (and potentially hurt the baby). Happy pregnancy!
