Paternity
When a minor child is born to married parents, the State assumes that the husband is the child’s father and there is no need to establish paternity. Under Florida law, a child does not have a “legal father,” however, if the child’s parents are not married when the child is born. Thus, the parents have to establish paternity.​
​
We offer experienced assistance with:
Establishing legal paternity through a court order
Establishing child support
Establishing a parenting plan
Participating in making important decisions regarding the child
