Florida Paternity Lawyer

Serving Miami-Dade & South Florida

​

Paternity determines a father’s legal rights and responsibilities, including:

• child support
• parental responsibility
• time-sharing

If parents are not married when a child is born, paternity must be legally established before the court can issue orders involving custody or support.

In some situations, a man may also need to challenge or disestablish paternity.
