Unmarried parents in Fort Myers cannot obtain a court-ordered child support amount until paternity has been legally established. Without that legal foundation, there is no enforceable obligation for either parent. Paternity can be established through a voluntary acknowledgment signed at the time of birth, or through a court proceeding that includes DNA testing when parentage is disputed.
Brodzki Jacobs handles paternity and child support together for Fort Myers parents who need both resolved, positioning the firm to move directly into the support determination once paternity is confirmed rather than treating them as separate engagements. For a mother seeking an enforceable support order or a father seeking to establish legal rights, both issues need to be addressed in sequence and Brodzki Jacobs manages that process from start to finish. Contact the firm to get both on track at the same time.
