Fort Myers Paternity Lawyers

Dedicated And Compassionate Legal Help

In Florida, if a child is born to unmarried parents, the father’s paternity must be legally established in order for the mother to receive court-ordered child support and for the father to pursue being a part of the time-sharing and parenting plan. Unmarried fathers have no parental rights unless they first establish paternity of their child. This is true even if the father’s name is on the birth certificate or if the child has taken the father’s last name.


Establishing the paternity of a child can have long-lasting emotional and legal consequences. At the Law Office of Luis E. Insignares, we represent both women and men in a broad range of paternity matters, including filing paternity lawsuits, defending against paternity actions, and assisting sperm donors and surrogates in understanding their parental rights and responsibilities.



Contact our firm to schedule a consultation with one of our Fort Myers paternity attorneys. For more than 20 years, we have successfully represented clients in family law matters in Fort Myers and surrounding Florida communities.
