The Florida Legislature is considering a proposal that would grant fathers to children born out of wedlock equal parental rights under Florida law. Currently under Florida law, if a child is born to unwed parents, Florida only recognizes the mother as a legal guardian and fathers have to prove paternity in order to achieve legal recognition as the father. This bill would help fathers who acknowledge paternity to receive equal legal recognition. The mother and father would have to sign an affidavit acknowledging paternity and that both parents are the child’s natural guardian with the same rights and responsibilities of married parents. The bill has received bipartisan support.
