Representing Mothers in Paternity Actions

At The Law Office of Ryan S. Dougay, we have extensive background helping women establish paternity. We offer a hands-on approach to understand our clients' unique situation. In some circumstances, our clients remain in good terms with their child's biological father, who might be willing to sign an affidavit confirming he is the father.

When this is not the case, attorney Dougay acts quickly to obtain a court-ordered DNA test. Paternity tests are 99 percent accurate in establishing or disproving the paternity of a particular man. We will take action to obtain prenatal expenses and child support once the father's paternity is determined.

Advocating for Fathers' Rights in Austin

Attorney Rougay represents fathers interested in maintaining a relationship with their biological children. He helps fathers assert their rights through establishing paternity. This proves to be a valuable step for fathers looking to:

• Request visitation rights
• Petition for a modification of child custody
• Contest stepparent adoptions

At The Law Office of Ryan S. Dougay, we also represent men who believe they are not the biological father. Child support orders will be lifted if a paternity test reveals our client is not the father of the child in question.
