Forced Fatherhood: Florida’s Broken Paternity Trap

What happens when your wife cheats, gets pregnant, and has the baby before the divorce is finalized? In Florida—you could be on the hook for child support. Even with DNA proof. Even if you’ve never met the kid.

In this explosive episode, host Kyle Fields pulls back the curtain on one of Florida’s most damaging and outdated laws: the marital presumption of paternity. From personal experience to broader injustice, Kyle shares how this law cost him thousands of dollars, six months of jail time, and a scarred criminal record—all for a child that wasn’t his.

If you’ve ever wondered how the system can be rigged against the truth, this episode is your wake-up call.

What You’ll Hear:

• The shocking reality of Florida’s paternity laws

• How Marion County exploits the system for financial gain

• The emotional and financial toll of being falsely obligated

• A raw, unscripted moment about a deputy robbing a bank that you’ll never forget

• A powerful call to reform and accountability
