NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDING TO ESTABLISH PATERNITY

1. Proceeding. The Florida Department of Revenue, Child Support Enforcement Program (DOR)

has started an administrative proceeding to establish paternity to determine whether you are the

biological father of the child(ren) listed below.

We have done this because public assistance has been received for the child(ren) or because

the ____________________________________ has asked for our help in establishing paternity.

According to our records paternity has not yet been established for the child(ren), and the

child(ren)’s mother was not married when the child(ren) was conceived or born. You have been

named as a putative father of the child(ren) listed below based upon an affidavit or written

declaration by the mother that states that you are or may be the child(ren)’s biological father. A

copy of the affidavit or written declaration is enclosed.

The name and date of birth of the child(ren) are:

The name of the child(ren)’s mother is ________________________________________

The name of the caretaker relative is _________________________________________

You are subject to jurisdiction under Florida law because before we started this proceeding, you:

Resided in this state with the child(ren);

Resided in this state and provided prenatal expenses or support for the child(ren);

Cohabited with the mother in this state;

Acknowledged paternity of the child(ren) in this state; or

Engaged in sexual intercourse in this state which may have resulted in the conception of

the child(ren)

2. Order to Appear for Genetic Testing. Enclosed you will find an Order to Appear for Genetic

Testing. You are required by law to submit to genetic testing. Genetic testing will establish either

a high degree of probability that you are the biological father of the child(ren) or that you are not

the biological father of the child(ren). If the results of the genetic test do not indicate a statistical

probability of paternity equal to or greater than 99%, this proceeding shall end unless a second or

subsequent test is required. You may obtain a second genetic test by filing a written request for

a second test with DOR at the address in paragraph 8 below within 15 days after the date of

mailing of the initial genetic testing results and you pay DOR in advance for the full cost of the

second test. DOR may schedule and require a subsequent genetic test if it has reason to believe
