• if the child support was determined administratively and has not been ratified by a

court in the county in which the petitioner resides.
This form should be typed or printed in black ink. After completing the form, you should sign the
form before a notary public or deputy clerk.
A copy of any judgment or order regarding paternity or child support and a copy of any scientific
test results showing that you cannot be the father of the child(ren) must be attached to the
petition and filed with the court.
What should I do next?
The petition must be served on the mother or legal guardian or custodian of the child(ren). If the
child support obligation was determined administratively and has not been ratified by a court,
the petition must also be served on the Department of Revenue.
Where can I look for more information?
Before proceeding, you should read “General Information for Self-Represented Litigants”
found at the beginning of these forms. For further information, see Section 742.18, Florida
