Q. I want to know how to put the correct biological father on my daughter's birth certificate. What forms do i need?

30 July 2021

A: To add the father's name to the birth certificate, the parents can complete The Affirmation of Common Child(ren) Born in Florida form (DH-743A) or provide a written statement under oath to the Clerk of Court when they apply for their marriage license.

Q. My business name has been trademarked by someone else. I sell clothing, they are a record brand. Can I keep my bus. name

30 July 2021

A: Your business name is not necessarily your trademark. Even if it is, it is not confusingly similar to theirs. So you can still register it as your trademark. Confusingly similar means that consumers would not assume that the clothing you are selling is from them because the record industry is distinct, not related to clothing. However, you would be better off conducting a thorough research to be sure. Hire an attorney if you are not familiar with trademark law.

Q. Our daughter in law borrowed our car and totaled it. There was no collision coverage. The tow company is coming after us

30 July 2021

A: A car owner is strictly vicariously liable if the driver's negligence causes your damages in a Florida crash. This law is called the dangerous instrumentality doctrine. You could also be held liable for negligent entrusting your vehicle, if your daughter is in no good condition to drive a car and you knew it.
