Tampa, FL asked in Family Law for Florida

Q: My unwed son was listed as putative father by pregnant ex girlfriend who is filing for baby’s adoption.

Besides putative paternity registry does he have to file a parenting plan with courthouse? Dna testing not possible prenatal due to mother being in army training center in OK.. She is discharged army but not back in FL yet. He is worried that if dna test is negative after birth and he acknowledges paternity to stop adoption process, he won’t be able to revoke acknowledgment of paternity if he has to acknowledge to keep baby out of state care.

A: Your question is not that clear. She named him in the putative father registry and he also signed an acknowledgment of paternity? Why did he do that?
