Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
No child support for 17 yrs - No DNA - can't get the father served
Her father and I were never married, and I just started persuing support five years ago, when I decided to return to school (and had to quit working). He has since gotten married, and every time CSE tries to have him served with papres (including the order for DNA), his wife tells the server that he no longer lives there. I don't know what to do. This is ripping my daughter apart, as she would like to meet her father. I can't believe he would be so heartless, that he would run.

Hire a private process server to serve the paperwork. They'll find him. You can ask the clerks at the courthouse if they recommend any local process servers. Cost will be between $30-50. Or you can hire a private investigator to locate him.
But you should hurry - there is a statute of limitations on child support.

You may have to hire a private process server. Someone who can wait at his home until arrives. It may be helpful to find out from CSE where he works. He can be served there as well.
