Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

The child will be legally presumed to be the husband's so you final judgment needs to be worded correctly to avoid that, also your husband needs to sign an affidavit of non-paternity.

Use of a lawyer is recommended.

You can both stipulate that the child is not your husband's, even though the legal presumption would be that it is. As long as the Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage is prepared properly, there should not be a problem. A second issue might be that a Simplified Dissolution may not be available in cases where there is a child. You may be able to contact the Clerk's office to determine how they will deal with the pregnancy.
