Many children are born to parents who are not married. These children have a right to legitimacy, which means they have a right to a mom and a dad. No one ever questions maternity, we always know who mom is. Moms have rights to children as well as financial obligations. Fathers do not have inherent rights to children born to women with whom they are not married. If a mother claims a person to be the father financial responsibility will easily come. If a father wants rights to a child, in addition to the financial responsibility, he has to file a lawsuit. Without a lawsuit you have no rights, only financial obligation.

If you'd like to see your child, and the other individual is not allowing you to see the child, you're gonna file an action for paternity. The action for paternity will determine parentage, as well as establish time share and parental responsibility.

If a parent refuses to return a child, you can take it up with the court on an emergency basis. It would be called Motion for Emergency Pick-Up Order. That would be filed with the court. If you have a court order providing you time, typically within 24 to 72 hours, you'll have an order that indicates that the sheriff will assist you in returning your child to you.

Rights for visitation in Florida, when frustrated, can be taken up with the court. If there's an existing court order, you can go to court and seek contempt and enforcement for a frustration of time share.
