Child support is based on the income of the mother and father - not their spouses. If she sues in Florida - then Florida laws applies. Personally, you are not subject to another state if you do not live their so I suspect she will have to file here. If you file, you must file in her state and that state will rule. So - who is filing - paternity test can be requested at any time in the court by filing a answer if an action is filed. Otherwise, you could ask her for a paternity test.
