If you need advice about adoption or paternity in the eastern portions of the Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex, contact experienced and focused family law attorney Holly Schymik in East Dallas.

There's more of a connection between adoption and paternity law than you might think: both are ways to create and strengthen families. Holly Schymik offers comprehensive client service in both of these family law areas.

Dedicated lawyer for all adoption issues

Holly Schymik advises and represents adoptive parents on a wide range of issues in cases ranging from stepparent adoption to re-adoption situations, in which a foreign adoption is confirmed by a Texas court so that a United States birth certificate can be obtained.

She also helps parents with private adoptions, interstate adoptions, and adult adoptions. Her experience can help you avoid mistakes, wasted effort and unnecessary expenses.

She represents both mothers and fathers in Texas paternity matters

Many people associate paternity with welfare mothers and deadbeat dads, but there's quite a lot more to it than those tired stereotypes. There are many reasons why parents remain unmarried, and it's entirely possible to build and sustain strong families in unconventional households.

Unmarried mothers and fathers alike have a strong interest in establishing paternity. Most obviously, the mother can create an enforceable right to child support by proving the father's identity. Increasingly, we also represent unmarried fathers who want to establish legally protected rights to custody or possession of their children.
