Does an umarried mother have child support rights in Florida?

I think in all states unmarried mothers are elgible for child support. However they will want to establish the legal father of the child. This is called "paternity establishment." Paternity can be established in the following ways: • If a child is born to an unmarried mother, she and the man claimed to be the father can sign an "Affidavit of Parentage" to legally establish the father's rights and obligations. • The mother and the man claimed to be the father can ask a court to determine the legal father of the child. Genetic testing may be necessary to determine the biological father of a child.

How do you legitimize a child?

One way to legitimize a child is to take a paternity test or have the father sign a paternity acknowledgment form. If the mother married the father before the child is born this will also legitimize the child.

It depends on how you answered the paternity suit. If you are not the parent and it is proved that you are not the father, nothing more needs done. If you are the parent, many more court dates could come to determine custody and child support.

How can your son's father sign his birth certificate if he wasn't there at the birth?

You don't have to be the real father to be on a child's birth certificate. You would just have to sign a paternity affadavit, in which you are assuming all legal responsibilities to that child. You would talk to the mother about adopting the child and go through that process--if you are married.


Can a judge order you to pay child support without the mother proving the child is mine?

The court must determine paternity before entering an order for support. However, paternity is assumed if the parents were married when the child was conceived/born. Paternity may also be established by the father's acknowledgment of paternity, or by the father's failure to cooperate in genetic testing.
