Jacksonville Family Law Attorneys for Paternity and Child Support Matters
The legal process can be intimidating, especially when you are dealing with matters related to your kids. That is why we place great importance on helping parents and families understand the law. At the Jacksonville, Florida law office of Beller & Bustamante, P.L., we maintain close contact with our clients, teaching them about how Florida law applies to them and assisting them in making decisions that will be the best for them and their children.
Our lawyers help parents and families take actions to establish paternity of children. We know that a paternity determination can have a serious impact on your relationship with your children and your life.
If you believe that you are not the father of the child, the law allows you to challenge child support through a paternity action. You and the child may need to submit to DNA testing to determine the true biological nature of the relationship.
How Paternity Relates to Child Support
In Florida, just having your name on the birth certificate is not enough to establish paternity. The court requires establishment of paternity through a court order, even if everyone agrees. When paternity is established, it can affect your parental rights and obligations to your child, impacting things like child support, child custody, visitation, or timesharing.
Contact Beller & Bustamante, P.L., about your paternity concerns
Our friendly and accessible attorneys are available for confidential consultations at our Florida law office by calling (904) 288-4414.
