You will need to initiate an action in Alabama since that is the home state of the child. You are posting in a forum for FL law. I would imagine that you would need to file something along the lines of a Paternity Action. I am not sure what it would be called in Alabama. Along with establishing paternity, you will be on the hook for child support, including "back" support if you have not paid in the past. Best of Luck, Helena Y.
