403 So. 2d 584 | Fla. Dist. Ct. App. | 1981
This is an appeal from a final judgment of paternity ordering the father to pay child support pursuant to Section 742.041, Florida Statutes (1979). The father challenges the constitutionality of Section 742.041 on equal protection grounds, contending that Section 742.041(2) prohibits the court from consider
We find that Section 742.031, Florida Statutes (1979), read in pari materia with Section 742.041, allows the court to consider the mother’s ability to pay child support. Therefore, the statute does not pose an equal protection problem on this ground.
Accordingly, the final judgment is affirmed.
AFFIRMED.
