Establishing Paternity in Florida
Children deserve to know the identity of their legal and biological father, especially minor children who still require the care and support of both parents.
Some of the rights and benefits for the child include the following:
- Medical history and information
- Financial, education, and/or medical support
- Benefits, such as medical, life, veteran’s, military or other inheritances
Regardless of whether or not a couple is married, both partners are obligated to support their children. Either parent can use a paternity case to establish a child’s biological and legal father.
Between the child’s birth and up until he or she turns 18, the mother and child reserve the right to establish paternity. This involves completing and signing the Acknowledgment of Paternity form (Form DH-432). Both parents must complete the form in its entirety and sign it in front of two witnesses or a notary public.
