Understanding the Process of Establishing Paternity in Florida

Under Florida law, paternity is established when a child is born during a couple’s marriage, or through an Establishment of Paternity process. When a child is born, and the mother is not married, the child does not have a legal father and the mother is entirely responsible for the child’s welfare.

Therefore, when establishing paternity in Florida, it is best to move quickly. Legal paternity needs to be established for either party to achieve their goals. While the process of establishing or de-establishing paternity may be daunting and seemingly difficult, we have the skills to help you get what you want in a timely and professional manner.

Key Benefits of Establishing Paternity in Florida

  • Life or health insurance from either parent, if available
  • Placement of the father’s name on the birth certificate
