SAPCR – Suit Affecting the Parent Child Relationship
Experienced Texas
SAPCR Attorney
These types of suits involve establishing legal rights for
parents who are not married – and either parent has
standing to bring such a family law case (although other
facts can affect the ability and wisdom of filing such a
suit, which is why it is adviseable to speak with an
experienced attorney). A subset of SAPCRs is parentage
suits. Upon parentage being established, the SAPCR action
can proceed – conservatorship, visitation, access, and
child support payments will be established. If you need a
Burleson SAPCR lawyer (working in both Johnson and Tarrant
Counties), please contact the Stanley Law Office.
Understanding What is
Legally Expected of Parents
Parental rights clearly involve pride, joy, happiness –
and a great deal of responsibility. For instance, at the
conclusion of a SAPCR, a parent will be expected to help
the child by making child support payments and maintaining
health insurance coverage. The parent-child relationship
is a highly personal aspect of one’s life, and intrusion
into this personal space by the court system can be very
draining and frustrating. The courts and attorneys use
many acronyms and specialized terms – the law can be
extremely confusing. The Stanley Law Office and Patricia
L. Stanley work closely with clients through each step of
the legal process. Mrs. Stanley takes time to explain the
law and discuss a client’s options in each situation. If
you need a family law attorney, contact the Stanley Law
Office to discuss your parental rights with an attorney
who fully understands the Suit Affecting the Parent-Child
Relationship (SAPCR).
