Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
In Florida, does an alleged Dad need to sign the birth registration in order to be named the Dad on the birth certificate?
If so, is there a time limit after the birth that he should be asked to sign.

If the parents are not married the father has to file an action in court to assert his rights. Contact my office for free consultation.
Already answered. Even if he signs the birth certificate, he has no rights to the child unless he and the mother are married. Then it will be his child and he will be legally responsible for child support in the event the marriage ends. He would need to still do a paternity on the child and then file for disestablishment in order to not have to pay support for a child that is not his.
