You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such nformation, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

While you did not complete your question, I believe you wanted to know if the person can still challange paternity. The Florida legislature just passed a new law during the recent session that allows DNA testing to determine paternity. If the child is determined not to be the person considered as the father, then he will no longer have to pay child support.
