Helping Mothers And Fathers Establish Paternity

When a child is born out of wedlock, parenting rights of the father and mother may not be equal until addressed in a court order. A child who is born out of wedlock is entitled to support despite any differences in parental rights. The attorneys at Holz Family Law are well able to advise individuals regarding the rights and responsibilities arising in paternity cases and circumstances where a child’s parentage is uncertain.

Understanding Florida’s Paternity Laws

In a paternity action, either the mother or the father may seek DNA testing to confirm parentage before proceeding to determine parental rights and responsibilities. It is an important step, and today's modern testing is helpful in eliminating any doubt as to parentage. Once paternity is determined, the parents are placed on equal footing in regard to rights unless a court determines otherwise. 


Our experienced attorneys also assist clients in understanding their responsibilities toward the children and are dedicated to exclusively practicing family law. The attorneys at Holz Family Law have the knowledge and skill to assist with the most complex paternity or fathers' rights issues in Florida.
