A prospective father has no legal ties or obligations to the child. While a prospective father might be entitled to notice of hearings, he has no visitation rights with the child, and he is unlikely to be provided with a State funded attorney. Often times, a prospective father is the childs actual biological father.
Florida does not have a presumption rule for 50/50 custody, however, if the father proceeds and establishes legal paternity, the father may be awarded shared parental responsibility and 50/50 timesharing.
In the State of Florida, there are five ways to legally establish paternity. 1) Marriage. 2) Acknowledgement of paternity. 3) Court order. 4) Administrative order based on genetic testing. 5) Legitimation.
Once paternity is established, the next step laid out by Florida paternity laws is to determine parental responsibility and timesharing of the child or children.
There is no filing fee when a man who believes he is the father of a child files a paternity case or when the prosecutor brings a paternity case. There is a $20 filing fee for a Motion for Genetic Testing if filed by the mother.
