How an Orlando Family Lawyer Can Help with Your Divorce

An Orlando, Florida family lawyer skilled in handling divorce cases can help you with all aspects of your divorce. Filing for divorce involves so much more than just submitting paperwork to the courts.

If both you and your partner are unmarried, you can both voluntarily establish paternity when your child is born.
If you marry your child’s father after your child is born, you can establish paternity when you apply for your marriage license.
If you didn’t establish paternity at the hospital when your child was born, both parents can voluntarily establish paternity later.
If one parent disputes paternity, paternity can be established through the courts. Genetic testing will be required.
