Longwood Paternity Lawyer

Longwood Paternity Attorney and FL Fathers’ Rights Lawyer: Serving all of Central Florida

Florida family law states that if a child’s parents were not married while their child was conceived or born, the father has no child custody or visitation rights until paternity has been established; he must show that he is the father of the child. This can be a difficult process for many reasons: antagonism between former romantic partners, confusing legal paperwork, conflicts related to Parental relocation, Child support, Custody and parenting plans and other complexities.

The Florida Paternity Test Process

Either party can request a Florida Paternity Test. DNA will be used to determine paternity. After the test, court decisions will be based on the findings.

• A DNA sample can be given voluntarily or the court can force someone to offer a sample
• The male must take a DNA test if court ordered. Typically this is a blood test or cheek swab
• Within 5 days, the Florida Paternity Test results will be available

If paternity is established, the court will argue that both parents should be in the child’s life. Having an experienced Longwood paternity attorney to facilitate the process and the next steps can lead to a better outcome for you and your child. Call Mitch for a free consultation at (407) 862-7110.
