Establishing Paternity in Florida

Father and son - 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 case. 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.

There are numerous benefits to establishing paternity in Florida, which include:

  • The ability to receive Social Security or veteran’s benefits, inheritances, and military allowances
  • Medical support as well as financial child support from both parents
  • Life or health insurance from either parent, if available
  • Placement of the father’s name on the birth certificate
  • The child knows who his or her father is
  • Access to information regarding family medical history

There are also numerous benefits to de-establishing paternity, which include:

  • The former legal father is no longer partially financially responsible for the child
  • The mother has full custody and rights over her child
  • The child can potentially be able to find his/her biological father
  • Provides accurate information about family medical history, rather than false
