Hey everyone, do any of you know what the deal is with paternity laws in Florida? I’ve been hearing different things lately and I’m curious to know how it all works here.

In Florida, paternity laws are pretty straightforward. If you’re married when your child is born, the law assumes your spouse is the other parent. If you’re unmarried, establishing paternity usually involves signing a legal document acknowledging paternity or through genetic testing if there’s a dispute.

Yeah, exactly. If you’re not married, you can voluntarily acknowledge paternity at the hospital when your child is born. If there’s any doubt or disagreement, genetic testing is often ordered by the court to determine biological parentage.

It’s important to know that once paternity is established, fathers have legal rights and responsibilities, including child support obligations and the right to seek custody or visitation. It’s all about ensuring both parents are involved in their child’s life, regardless of marital status.
Everyone has to quit frightening OP since he is a useless man who has a history of neglecting a second child. After 11 years, OP can demonstrate that he had no desire to be a parent.
Hello, you will need to visit a local attorney. Currently, her ex is the supposed father with legal rights.
