Paternity Testing Arrangements
If you suspect that you are the father of a child, and you would like to establish paternity, contact a lawyer today. Attorney Rebekah Brown-Wiseman can make arrangements for a paternity test that will help affirm or dispel your suspicions. You can then begin the process of establishing your parental rights and becoming involved in your child's life.
Fathers' Rights and the Law
Many unmarried fathers believe they have a legal right to visitation if their name appears on their child's birth certificate; however, this is a common misconception.
In cases of unmarried parents, paternity must be established through the court in order to secure a father's parental rights. Ms. Brown-Wiseman will petition the court to establish paternity to provide fathers with court-ordered custody/timeshare and obtain an order for the father to have a legal right to be involved in decisions about the child's education, health care and religious training.
If you were not married to the child's mother at the time of the child's conception or birth, you need to obtain an adjudication of paternity in order to establish your legal right to participate in your child's life and make decisions about his or her upbringing.
If you are married to your children's mother and you are going through a divorce, or if you are involved in a child custody dispute with your ex-spouse and you need to obtain a modification to a prior custody or support order, attorney Rebekah Brown-Wiseman can help you with those issues as well.
Shared Parental Responsibility
As the father of a child in Florida you have certain rights and responsibilities when in comes to making decision for your children. For example, both the mother and the father of a child generally have equal input into medical decisions, religious upbringing and other decisions related to how the children are raised.
