My question involves paternity law for the State of: Fl. My boyfriend of a year has a 4yr old child with another woman out of wedlock. Their relationship ended when she cheated on him for several years and he finally left her. I came along right after. According to what I've seen and heard the child's mother hid her pregnancy from him and didn't let him know he had a child until shortly after the child was born. She left his name off the certificate and gave the child her last name.
When she found out about me she proceeded to try to emotionally blackmail him into being with her. She stated to him on several occasions that not being with her meant he was abandoning his child. She's continued to defame him on social media, and state publicly that he is a nonexistent parent, even though he takes care of their son 5 days a week while she's at work. The child also spends the night when my bf isn't working his usual night shift.
He had continued to pay half the rent ($500) for their apartment after moving out. She eventually came into a situation where she couldn't afford her half and had to find another apartment. She kept the money he had given her that month. By this time their interactions had disintegrated into almost nothing except child exchanges. She found a place to live and at no point had a discussion with him about the finances of her new living arrangements. But when it came to the time she had to pay rent she asked him for rent money. He has refused to pay her rent considering there was no previous agreement regarding the new apartment. She has, for several months continued to demand money. She's continued to leave their child with him the majority of the week as I mentioned. Since she has not gotten things as she demands them to be, she is now moving out of state and taking the child with her.
My worry is that she will continue to make demands, and blackmail him into feeling guilty for not being around their child. No legal action or DNA testing has ever taken place.
1 What rights does he have to be in his child's life?
2 What can he do legally to keep her from trying to emotionally blackmail him? And posing a threat to the mental and emotional stability of the child?
