Paternity Attorney
& Lawyer, providing experienced Child Paternity and other Family Law legal services in
Orlando and throughout the Central Florida
Area.
Establishing the paternity of a child may sometimes be
necessary for issues relating to father's rights,
proving or disproving the biological fatherhood of a
child, inheritance issues, and potential family medical
history issues relating to a child.
A
paternity test may be conducted voluntarily, or by order
of the court. Those who may legally request a paternity
test regarding a child's biological father include:
The mother of the child or children;
The assumed biological father;
A male who is able show cause that he may be the
biological father of the child;
A male who is disputing that they are the biological
father;
Grandparents or other blood relatives of the child
in the event the assumed biological father has
passed away.

In
an uncontested paternity action,
men are usually very
confident that they are the biological father of the
child, or they wish to maintain a legal relationship
with the child whether or not they are the father, and
thus either initiate paternity actions or consent to the
entry of a paternity order.
A contested paternity
action may arise either as private actions, or are
brought by the state. A private action for paternity is
typically serves the purpose of securing child support
payments from the father, or parenting time with the
child.
When the mother applies
for state assistance, the State will typically commence
a paternity action through the prosecutor's office in an
effort to obtain full or partial reimbursement of any
grant of aid for the child from the child's biological
father.
An individual who is
tentatively identified or assumed to be the child's
father in paternity litigation is referred to as the "putatitive
father", which means they are "generally regarded as the
biological father" unless proven otherwise through a
paternity test.
