Legal Answers
Q. Veteran seeking advice on disestablishing paternity and child support in TX
A: Under Texas law, if you are listed as a parent on a child’s birth certificate AND have provided financial support, then you are presumed to be the father. Aside from that, any child born during your marriage is also your presumed child. This legal presumption applies regardless of biological connection and creates enforceable obligations, including potential liability for child support.

To challenge this presumption, you must file a petition to adjudicate parentage under Texas Family Code § 160. However, in most circumstances, Texas imposes a strict four-year statute of limitations for challenging presumed parentage. If you accepted the child as your own and supported the child, the court may find it is not in the child’s best interest to disestablish parentage, particularly if doing so would leave the child without two legal parents. Texas courts give significant weight to the stability and welfare of the child, especially when a person has taken on a parental role. You would need a DNA test to prove you are not the father, or a denial of paternity, along with an acknowledgment of paternity by someone else. Be aware that Texas courts do not allow disestablishment if the legal relationship has been affirmed through prior court orders or if you also signed an Acknowledgment of Paternity form (usually done at the hospital).

Given the legal and procedural complexity, you should consult a Texas family law attorney with experience. If you cannot afford an attorney, organizations such as Houston Volunteer Lawyers, Lone Star Legal Aid, and TexasLawHelp.org offer free or low-cost resources, including forms and guidance.

Q. Divorced, ex not paying spousal maintenance, harassment, TX
A: If your ex-husband is failing to make spousal maintenance payments or threatening to stop them, you can file a Motion for Enforcement of Spousal Maintenance in the family court that issued your decree. The court can order him to pay arrears, issue a judgment against him, and, in some cases, hold him in contempt of court, which may carry fines or jail time. If there is not already an income withholding order in place, you may also request one to ensure future payments are made on time.

For the unpaid share of the 401(k), you may file a Motion to Enforce Division of Property. The court can compel compliance with the division terms outlined in the decree. If necessary, the judge can sign a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) to direct the retirement plan administrator to transfer your share directly to you, without requiring his cooperation.

If you cannot afford to hire legal counsel, TexasLawHelp.org offers free legal information and self-help forms. You may also qualify for assistance through Texas Legal Services Center, Legal Aid of NorthWest Texas, Lone Star Legal Aid, or Texas RioGrande Legal Aid, depending on your location. Many counties also operate courthouse-based self-help centers that can assist you with filing documents.

Q. Statute of limitations for knee replacement malpractice claim in Texas?
A: The statute of limitations for personal injury cases, including medical malpractice, is typically two years from the date of the injury. I also want to gently mention that many surgical cases involve known risks, which means that even if the timing had been different, the situation may not have risen to the level of malpractice based on the limited information available.
