PATERNITY

For unmarried MEN, the stresses of Fatherhood can be compounded by a Mother whom routinely interferes with you and your child(ren)'s lives by denying contact or trading contact for money. It is a reality that far too many face.

​

​

Even when put on child support by the Florida Department of Revenue, Men gain NO PARENTAL RIGHTS over their children. Before getting upset, understand that you MUST file for Paternity.  A Paternity Suit is the ONLY way to ensure and cement your parental rights.

​

Simply being on the birth certificate grants NO rights. Look at the Birth Certificate as merely a "receipt" with the "true owner" being the Mother. - (poor choice of words, but that is how the law sees this.)
