Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

My husband was served a summons for paternity and child support in 2012. Followed through on everything took dna test. Months later we received a letter from court stating cases was closed. Plaintiff never showed for testing. Today he was served again, is that allowed? And if so he has already did all this.

So long as the prior case as dismissed without prejudice, yes. And, sorry to say, he will have to do it again.

It is permitted if no one objects. File a motion with Judge #2 asking for sanctions including she pay cost of Test #1 before submitting to test #2.

Yes but do file a Motion as per Attorney McCall's advise. If she continues to be a no show this could be costly.
