Re: paternity test limatations

If he was ordered to pay child support by a Florida court, then it was also "ordered" that he was the legal father. He probably can't undo the order, but it has been known to happen, especially if the order is less than a year old. He should speak to a lawyer about having the order set aside so that he can have the DNA test. He should also ask the lawyer about filing a lawsuit for court-ordered visitation.
