Florida Affidavit of Children Born — Not Born During Marriage is a legal document used to establish the paternity of children born to unmarried parents. This document is typically used when the father of the child is not listed on the birth certificate of the child or when the father's name is not known. The affidavit is typically filed by the mother of the child and can be used to establish paternity in the eyes of the court. There are two types of Florida Affidavit of Children Born — Not Born During Marriage: the Voluntary Acknowledgement of Paternity and the Court Order Establishing Paternity. The Voluntary Acknowledgement of Paternity is used when both the mother and father agree to the paternity of the child and both parties sign the document. The Court Order Establishing Paternity is used when the father is not listed on the birth certificate or when the mother and father disagree on the paternity of the child. In this instance, the court will order a DNA test to establish the paternity of the child.
