Actions to establish paternity
Biological mothers have the right to file a paternity action immediately after the child is born and can seek to collect back support for a period of up to two years prior to filing. A paternity action can either be brought by the state, or as a private action. Our attorney will guide you through the process, providing you with the information and advocacy you need to protect your rights and the best interests of your child.
Stuart House has been involved in several hundred paternity cases as a Florida Support Enforcement Prosecutor and since, and understands the law and knows what it takes to get results in court.
Challenging paternity, representation for alleged fathers
Our attorneys are experienced in representing both biological mothers as well as alleged fathers in paternity actions. If you are the alleged father, it is important to take immediate action to protect your rights. If you do not challenge paternity at the outset, you may be liable for future long-term child support obligations.
If paternity is erroneously adjudicated against you, it can cost you substantial sums of money over the long term. Stuart House will take immediate effective action to protect your rights and impose appropriate challenge to wrongfully determined support obligations.
