In Florida, the statute of limitations for establishing paternity is when the child reaches 22 years of age, which is four years after the child reaches the age of majority (in Florida, that's 18 years old).
The court filing fees for a paternity case filed by the mother are currently $255. There is no filing fee when a man who believes he is the father of a child files a paternity case or when the prosecutor brings a paternity case.
