Default No Paternity Established, Can This Go On Forever?
Husband was told by ex-girlfriend that he is the father of her son. However she refused to list him on the birth certificate as such. She now claims since the child is over 2 years old and she has never attempted to pursue proving his parternity, that she will never be able to. Is this true in Florida? I have never heard of any such law. We want to protect ourselves from having major arrearages if she suddenly decides to pursue him. Any input would be awesome!!!

As long as the child still requires support, your husband is on the hook.

I would go ahead and take care of this. File for paternity, get the DNA done and find out.

That is exactly what I thought! Thank you very much for confirming. We will proceed in establishing or disproving her claims.
