    Birth Certificate Law in Florida
    I have friend who claims he is not the father of his ex-girlfriends baby, she claims he is. Can she legally put his name on the birth certificate if he does not consent and is not present at the birth?

    Hello grrl:

    I think she can. It carries no legal rights or penalties, though. And, it doesn't mean he's required to pay child support or visit or anything.

    However, the time to argue is when she DOES come after him for child support, as she surly will. Then he'll take a paternity test. If he's daddy, he's going to pay like one. If he's not daddy, he just pays for the test.

    I would be more careful here. If she puts his name on the because KNOWING that he's not the father, then she could be prosecuted for filing a false instrument. But excon is right, having his name on the because doesn't legally obligate him in any way.

    Yes she may it really does not mean anything but if he wants it off he can do so it would just have to come out of his pocket. How stated above if she decides to put him on child support then the truth will come out cause if he did not sign the because then they have to by law do a test and that will be out of state pocket not his and then everything will be settled
