Understanding Paternity in Florida

• A mother challenging paternity and refusing contact between father and child
• The need for a court order to enforce child support payments
• Establishing legal rights for unmarried fathers, including timesharing (custody) and parental responsibility

Why Establishing Paternity is Important

Determining legal fatherhood impacts several critical areas, including:
Child support obligations
Parental rights and timesharing (formerly child custody)
The child’s ability to receive healthcare benefits, inheritance rights, and social security
Strengthening the parent-child relationship
