Business 4 views 1 answers
I have been seperated for almost a year. My husband and I are both in new relationships. I am 8 months pregnant with my boyfriends child. My boyfriend wants to be on the Birth Certificate but I have been told that because i am married my husband will automaically go on the birth certificate. I need to know if in the state of florida, i can get my husband to sign an affidavit of denial of paternity and get my boyfriend to sign a ack. of paternity. Can you do this in florida without going to court?

The simple answer is no. In Florida, your Husband is the father of your unborn child - whether or not he is the biological father. In order to accomplish your goals, you will need to have your husband consent to terminate his parental rights and you will need to file a Petition for Paternity naming your boyfriend as the Father. Your husband has a right to say no and can choose to remain the child's legal father. This is a very messy situation that you will need the help of an experienced lawyer with.
