Mango Father’s Rights Lawyer
Any woman who is pregnant or has a child, any man who has reason to believe that he is the father of a child, or any child, may bring proceedings in the circuit court to determine the paternity of the child when paternity has not been established by law or otherwise.
Paternity cases generally are necessary when the un-married parents of a child disagree on time-sharing, which then necessitates court intervention to establish the father’ legal rights; otherwise, unfortunately in the State of Florida the father is unable to legally exercise his time-sharing rights when the mother objects. This situation is unnecessary when both the mother and father are married at the time the child is born.
Our Mango Father’s Rights attorneys help you understand exactly what measures need to be taken to gain legal access and custody of your minor children.

Establishing Paternity in Florida
Florida Statutes Section 742.12 permits a court to require the child, mother, and the proposed father to submit to DNA testing to find out what the probability is that the father and child are genetically a match.
Generally a paternity action is initiated in order to establish the paternity of the child with his/her father, to establish a parenting plan and time-sharing schedule, and to establish child support of and for the child. Other aspects of a paternity action include establishing a holiday time-sharing schedule, and dividing the payment of medical insurance coverage, extracurricular activities, birth-related expenses, uncovered/non-covered medical expenses, as well as placing the father on the child’s birth certificate, changing the child’s name, and dividing up the dependency exemption for the child.
