The Mother Says I Am The Father & We Were Never Married

I Don't Think I Am The Father If you do not think that you are the biological father and you have not signed an Acknowledgment of Paternity, a suit will be brought against you to establish that you are the father. The mother, child, or government can sue to establish whether you are the biological father.

In Texas, if you do not appear for a paternity hearing, the court can issue a warrant for your arrest. In addition, if you refuse to go to court after being summoned for a paternity hearing, the court can declare you to be the father of the child. This order is called a default order and may include an order to pay child support. Both the Dallas and Houston offices of Father's For Equal Rights offer court admissible DNA testing

My child's mother brought my daughter to me and literally disappeared for approximately 3 whole years! Attempts to contact the mother by emails, phone calls, text messages, social media, family and friends yielded nothing. I then contacted Fathers For Equal Rights for help. Within a week we were in court and signing papers.
