Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Lease agreement

My question is similar to another I found on your site, but I am not sure what to do. I moved in to a place with my fiance, and he signed the lease (which i never saw) and shortly after he left. The landlord wants to sue me and him for back rent. I know I am not responsible but not only did he write my name where I should have signed, but he and another of his family told me that they will testify in court that I wrote my name there and they saw me do it. BUT I DIDNT! Do I have to hire a hand writing specialist or something? I am just out of college, and really broke because I spent all my money prepairing for a wedding that didnt happen.
