Paternity Attorney in Conroe

An Attorney, Paralegal, & Legal Assistant for Every Paternity Case

Questions about legal fatherhood often arise alongside urgent concerns about conservatorship, parenting time, child support, and medical support. The appropriate path depends on whether parentage is agreed upon, disputed, presumed under Texas law, or already addressed in a signed document or court order.

Our paternity lawyers represent mothers and fathers in Conroe who need to establish, confirm, or challenge paternity. We review the existing legal relationships, explain how they affect each parent, and identify any related parenting or support issues that may require an agreement or court order.

Call (936) 297-4668 to discuss your paternity matter with our family-law team in Conroe.

Paternity, Custody, & Support Issues We Handle

A parentage case can involve much more than determining a biological relationship. We consider the legal status of everyone involved and the orders needed to define each parent’s rights and responsibilities.

We assist with matters involving:

  • Establishing paternity: Seeking voluntary recognition or a court adjudication of the legal father-child relationship.
  • Challenging paternity: Evaluating an Acknowledgment of Paternity, presumed father status, genetic testing, or an existing parentage order.
  • Addressing conservatorship: Resolving parental rights and decision-making authority under Texas law.
  • Setting possession and access: Developing or contesting the schedule that determines when each parent spends time with the child.
  • Resolving support: Addressing child support and medical support alongside the parentage proceeding when appropriate.

We focus on family-law matters involving divorce, child custody, parenting schedules, support, and paternity. This focus helps us recognize when a parentage question is part of a broader dispute that requires coordinated legal decisions.

Types of Spousal Support

  • What Happens to Debt in a Texas Divorce?
    Debts incurred during the marriage are generally treated as community debts, just as assets are community property. The court will divide responsibility for debts as part of the property division. Note that a divorce decree does not automatically relieve you of liability to creditors — if your spouse is ordered to pay a joint debt and fails to do so, creditors may still pursue you. We help clients address this risk through careful drafting of divorce agreements.
  • Can Our Custody Arrangement Be Changed After the Divorce Is Final?
    Yes. Texas courts can modify custody, visitation, and child support orders when there has been a material and substantial change in circumstances since the original order was entered. Common triggers include a parent's relocation, a change in the child's needs, or a significant change in either parent's financial situation.
  • What if My Spouse Hides Assets During the Divorce?
    Texas requires both parties to disclose their financial information. If you suspect your spouse is concealing assets, we can pursue formal discovery — including depositions, subpoenas, and forensic accounting — to identify and value hidden property. Courts take asset concealment seriously, and it can affect the fairness of the final division.

A Coordinated Legal Team for Your Paternity Case

Clients work with an assigned attorney, paralegal, and legal assistant. Other legal professionals in our firm may collaborate when a case presents complex questions, competing parentage claims, or unexpected developments.

We begin gathering relevant documents, parenting-plan considerations, and financial or support information at the first meeting. Your assigned paralegal provides a full progress update at least every two weeks, and we give you an honest assessment of when you should next hear from us.

Ruby Bolton Is Board Certified in Family Law

Our founder, Ruby Bolton, is Board Certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, and our firm has more than 35 years of collective legal experience. Board certification reflects substantial involvement in family law as well as additional examination and review requirements established by the certification board.

We don’t file unnecessary motions or schedule contentious hearings when a case can move forward without them. If litigation becomes necessary, we protect your interests while addressing the parentage, custody, parenting-time, and support issues before the court.

Work completed by our paralegals and legal assistants isn’t billed at the assigned attorney’s rate. Each professional handles the responsibilities suited to their role while the attorney remains responsible for the case’s legal strategy.

    “Ruby Bolton goes above and beyond to provide each client with very personal services.”
    She helped me at two extremely difficult times in my life- the death of my husband and then my mother- to sort through probating their wills. I highly recommend her to anyone.
    - Patti H.
    “We wanted to make a point with a good law firm, and Bolton Law did just that.”
    Ruby Bolton and the Bolton law firm really showed up for the case my wife had against her ex-husband. From her first visit at consultation to picking up the final draft, she felt like she was in good hands. At the end of all this, my wife was able to get some relief and was able to put her ex in check. We got the passport docs, got it to make it mandatory to take the kids to all their sporting events on his weekend, and his child support was reinstated.
    - David V.
    “I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and caring legal team.”
    I had an amazing experience working with Ben Sander and Kassandra Ramirez during my divorce process. They made everything clear and smooth from start to finish, always taking the time to explain each step and answer any questions I had. Both were extremely responsive and professional, and I always felt supported and informed throughout the entire process. I truly appreciate all their help.
    - Gabriella P.
    “Communication was always smooth and professional.”
    I had a wonderful experience working with Sara Saeed. She provided a very thorough and detailed consultation, making sure all of my questions were answered. Having worked with other attorneys in The Woodlands area before, I truly appreciate Sara’s knowledge, expertise, and the care she brings.
    - Polina S.
    “There are not enough words that can express how amazing the team is at Bolton Law Firm.”
    Paige Pritchard made the process seamless and stress free. Her support on my case put me at ease during the entire filing process. I cannot thank her and David Greer enough for their attention to detail and personal attention they have my case.
    - Dianie S.
    “The Bolton Law firm was amazing and supportive throughout my case.”
    Rob was very good to answer all my questions and worked hard to keep my case moving even when opposing counsel was slow to respond. While my case was expensive, it was not outside of what I expected to pay. Thank you for the great work.
    - Jen M.
    “Shaunte did so much more than other attorneys in such little time.”
    I still have another day of trial, but I have already seen Shaunte fight and stand her ground. I wish I would have found her sooner, she has so many strengths and she is the attorney you want on your case even when things seem hopeless, she finds a way to fight. She is not intimidated at all, she is very respectful and caring and in court she knows how to keep fighting for what is right !!! Thank you so much Shaunte. I will forever be grateful for your help.
    - Lali M.
    “The legal team at Bolton Law was very professional and supportive from intake through finalization.”
    Kassandra, my paralegal, kept me updated regularly and was such a great support through the whole process. Attorney Henry and Bolton handled everything with grace and were able to achieve a better outcome than I expected. 100/10 recommend Bolton Law for anything family law related!
