General legal information furnished as a service of Fort Lauderdale / West Palm Beach family law attorney Janet Langjahr
Father has DNA test disproving his paternity of child for whom court ordered him to pay support.
But he didn’t get it until 3 years after a Florida court entered a child support order.
For that reason, the Florida Supreme Court upheld the child support order against the Father.
The Court noted that children are not disposable, which is consistent with a long line of cases from before Florida’s new paternity fraud law.
The Court reportedly did not even mention the new paternity fraud law, under which the Father is considering pressing a new legal challenge.
