Paternity Actions in Tampa
The purpose of a paternity action is to identify the parents of a child or children born out of
wedlock, to establish parental rights, and to develop a plan to co-parent the child(ren), through a Parenting Plan that outlines each parent’s benefits and obligations including, among other things, Child Custody/Time-Sharing and Child Support.
An unmarried woman who gives birth to a minor child is considered to be an Unwed Mother in the State of Florida, and as such she is afforded the vast majority of authority regarding that child, even if the biological father signs the birth certificate.
