District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

ARMANDO VALDEZ, Appellant, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE, CHILD SUPPORT PROGRAM and ARLINE NAYELY MONTANO, Appellees.

No. 4D2023-1474

Decided: November 01, 2023

Armando Valdez, West Palm Beach, pro se. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Toni C. Bernstein, Senior Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for appellees.

Affirmed. See Fla. R. App. P. 9.315(a). Appellant can seek disestablishment of paternity of the second child through section 742.18(1), Florida Statutes (2023), which “establishes circumstances under which a male may disestablish paternity or terminate a child support obligation when the male is not the biological father of the child.” See also Castillo v. Rodriguez, 332 So. 3d 1050 (Fla. 3d DCA 2021) (explaining how relief may be sought for the disestablishment of paternity in accordance with section 742.18, Florida Statutes).

Per Curiam.

Klingensmith, C.J., Warner and May, JJ., concur.
