Establishment of paternity rights is important

For mothers. Establishing paternity for your child is important for several reasons. Many benefits — such as child support payments, health insurance coverage, veteran’s benefits and rights of inheritance — are available to your child only once paternity is formally recorded in accordance with the law. If you are unmarried or going through a divorce, our Clearwater divorce lawyers at The Law Firm for Family Law personally understand the emotional and financial difficulties that are associated with paternity disputes in Florida.

For fathers. Fathers who do not live with their children require the establishment of paternity to secure visitation rights to see their children. Where the baby’s mother is married to another man, Florida law presumes that the mother’s husband is the father of the child. In this case you must enforce your paternal rights. A Clearwater father’s rights lawyer with a record of success is necessary to establish your paternity.
