D.F. v. Florida Dept. of Revenue

No.96,288 & #00-59

Broward County


These cases involve men seeking to avoid child-support payments after divorce on grounds that the children borne by their ex-wives during their marriages were actually fathered by someone else. In both instances the lower courts affirmed the fathers' support obligation despite DNA testing proving that they were not the biological fathers of the children.
