Do I need to verify tenant's custody of children? Florida

Hi,

My lease template is asking me to fill in tenant children's names and ages. The tenant, a single mother, has two minor children with different last names than hers. Do I need to verify her custody of these children if they are on the lease???

@Julie Hartman Thank you so much! I wasn't sure if I was legally obligated to check, but I see that doing so could cause more harm than good...thanks again!
