Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
My daughter has a 1 year old child from her ex-boyfriend who would not sign the birth certificate and pays no child support at this time. He took a DNA test which proved the child was in fact his but he does not care. What does my daughter need to do to be able to collect child support from the baby's father as the state is telling us that the DNA test is worthless in court?

If she cannot afford an attorney, have the Dept. of Revenue pursue this. It may take years, but it is better than eating it. If she can, have her retain a private attorney experienced with family law.
Retroactively, you can go back up to two years for child support. A DNA test would probably only be admissible if done through the Court.
