Child Custody, Adoption And Surrogacy
Paternity refers to the legal determination of a child’s biological father and plays a critical role in securing rights and responsibilities related to parenting. In Florida, establishing paternity is essential for matters such as child support, time-sharing, visitation rights, and decision-making authority.
At WPFL, we help both mothers and fathers navigate the legal process of establishing paternity—whether through agreement, court order, or DNA testing—ensuring the child’s best interests are protected every step of the way.
Why Paternity Matters
- Secures Legal Rights: Allows the father to seek timesharing, support, or parental decision-making authority.
- Protects the Child: Gives the child access to emotional and financial support, health insurance, inheritance, and family medical history.
- Ensures Support Obligations: Allows the mother to request child support from the legal father.
How Paternity is Established in Florida:
- Marriage: If a child is born to married parents, the husband is legally presumed to be the father.
- Voluntary Acknowledgment: Both parents can sign a legal form at the hospital or later to acknowledge paternity.
- Court Order: Either parent may file a paternity action in court if paternity is disputed or not yet established.
- Genetic Testing: If necessary, the court may order DNA testing to confirm biological paternity.
