More information is necessary in order to properly answer this question. Was your husband's name placed on the birth certificate? If not, then whose? What steps have you taken to resolve the issue and what problems have you encountered? This information is extremely important in answering this question.

Normally, an Application to Amend A Certificate of Live Birth will suffice. It can be found at: http://www.doh.state.fl.us/planning_eval/vital_statistics/DH_660_Instructions_for_Amending_a_Certificate_of_Live_Birth.pdf

Re: Amended birth certificate

Why not have him sign on at the Putative Registry and he can acknowledge he is bio dad although not the legal dad. That way he can support his child, which your (ex) husband will be trying to get out of. You should have representation in the dissolution.
