Child Custody Attorney for
Dallas LGBTQ Parents

If both parents are legally recognized as parents of the child then the courts will, for the most part, handle these types of disputes the same way they would with opposite-sex parents. An important thing to remember is that “custody” is not a legal term in Texas family law. Conservatorship is the term used in Texas to define the right to determine the child’s education, upbringing, residence, medical care, visitation, possession and control. However many areas of LGBT family law are still emerging leaving some parental rights in question. With over 20 years experience representing gay and lesbian parents in child custody cases in Dallas, John P. McCall Jr. is North Texas’ seasoned veteran in this expanding legal landscape that you need on your side to protect your parental rights. ​
