Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Recently I had a person contact me via text claiming to be with LCSW in CO regarding the adoption status of a child that MAY be mine. The child is two months old and a DNA test has not yet been completed. I know, of course, first a DNA test must be done. My question though is, one is it legal to contact a person via text regarding such sensitive information (there was no other form of communication). Second, the reason a DNA test has not been completed is because of lack of funds on my behalf. Is there a way to get financial aide with this procedure? Does the state provide help in these types of situations? Please keep in mind also that I am in FL and the baby and mother are in CO.

It is not appropriate for them to send a text. Also the State usually pays for DNA testing. Contact my office for free consultation. 727-446-7659.
This is a new one on me. Have you been served papers - that would be the proper and legal way to do this.
