Can you be put on Child Support if you are not on the Birth Certificate?
In short - yes. You can be put on child support if you are not on the child's birth certificate. It actually doesn't matter whether or not your name is on the birth certificate of your child in the state of Florida. What matters is if you've been established as a legal parent of the child.
For mothers, they are the legal parent as soon as the child is born in Florida. For fathers, it's not that simple. Fathers can establish paternity by either being legally married to the mother (before the child is born) or by petitioning for paternity in court. Only after you've been established as the legal parent will child support be assessed.
So, fathers can't even be asked for child support until they are established as the legal parent - however, that also means that fathers have no rights to see their children if they are not established as the legal parent. It's in the father's best interest to establish paternity and pay child support if the mother will not allow him to see his children.

I understand that Dads feel that way because when a Mom gives birth, she is the only legal parent. When Mom delivers the baby, she is asked by the hospital who she believes the father is. If she gives a name, the hospital will not allow his name to be put on the birth certificate unless he is present and willing to sign the birth certificate. If the man is not present and/or unwilling to sign the birth certificate, he will not be put on the birth certificate. If Mom gives a father's name during a court proceeding, the alleged father can deny paternity and ask for a DNA test.

Why would I have to be guilty before being innocent...it's azz backwards. She had sex and didn't want me and kept the baby...why should I be docked for that?
So dont have kids right? Great advice mam you’re a life saver.
So You try to say ? That ? Father will be pay for Child Maintenance without having right child ?
Basically young men do not have kids. It’s sad to admit but having kids give women all the power and control. If they want to have kids adopt so that way it automatically a 50/50 spilt with no child support. It is sad to go ti this extent but having kids with women naturally will cost the man a fortune while making the women money in the process
Thanks for the info real helpful
I never had anything to do with my kids over child support
It is Noble for all these young men to raise another man's babies.
Thank you for the information
I made a vow to myself to NEVER sleep with a man without knowing his SSN#
DNA test result from a reputable lab is the solution
Can someone decide after 15 years they don’t want the rights after they have established rights? Someone I know got a call from a ex saying she thinks her 15 year old is his because the other “dad” doesn’t want to pay child supposed and wants a DNA test now after 16 years. They weren’t married when the kid was born but he signed the birth certificate AND notarized something establishing parental rights.
Hows strictly for the fathers order to pay or they would take away their license and alot more how would they go find a job if now every jobs required license what does driver license has to do can you please explain me that. I understand womens might need help but they know they take advantage and take away way alot more than a child doesn't really needs how come they don't do change from childsupport rules give the mother a card what they really waist for the child be strict with that too how is that gona make that better ?
What if you have no name.
So if he doesn’t sign the birth certificate I can’t put him on child support? Even if I have text messages of the baby being his

A DNA test is highly recommended for establishing paternity.
If I have to take the father to paternity court, will he be put on child support ? I just want to prove he is the father and move on.

The easiest way to establish paternity is through a DNA test, whether you go to court or not. If the father is unwilling to take a DNA test, then taking the matter to court is the only option.

What happens if the mon was deceitful because the father was military, and she lied for 9 yrs and he was too naive to question paternity? And the test shows he is not the bio dad. Mom is also an active drug user(I believe this plays a significant role)

If you are married and your wife becomes pregnant with someone else's baby, the law presumes you are the father. You are still "on the hook." If you plan to divorce, the baby will need to be addressed. If you plan to stay married, you are agreeing that this new baby is yours and you will be responsible for the child - including financially responsible. There are things to consider and you should consult an attorney for more specific information regarding your case.

@@FloridaFamilyAttorney that's crazy because if it were reverse the same rule does not apply. for example, if the mother gets pregnant by someone else, then marries another person, the original person that got the woman pregnant is responsible.. so shouldn't the rule apply when the mother is married after she has the baby, where the new husband now takes responsibility for the baby?
I’m worried about having kids with a second women as I don’t want to be financially bound. Can I refuse to go on the birth certificate? And if it ever went to court can they make me have a DNA test?
Quick question. What if the mother has a hard time trying to find the father, especially if she’s in a different state? & the only piece of information that they have is an old address

Ok....what if you are not the biological father? For example, if I conduct a paternity test, and find out I'm not the biological father but still married to my wife, you mean to tell me that I'm responsible for a child that is not mine just because I'm married?

thank you for info because my partner have a son her x bf is retired U.S. navy my partner is a filipino their child is a special child he keeps on hiding from his son he dont acknowledge his son. Can my partner chase a child support
If you took a dna test and the baby came back not yours and the court dismiss the case can the women 11 years later ask for child support again if you are not the father or have no relations with the women
Is a legal parent the same as a biological or natural parent

Well, it depends. If you were never married to mom, did a court determine you were the father and establish paternity and enter a child support order? Is there an outstanding court order or is mom trying to go after you now with a new order? If you discovered you are the father of a 30 year old, how did you discover that information? You may want to talk to an attorney to make sure all of the facts are considered. You are welcome to call my office at (863) 295-9300 for further advice.
If you didn't have sex with woman, no, you are not the legal father, the mother is and should provide the wants of child herself. Look at this story another way, what if the judge presiding over such a case used the restroom and a woman ran in after and took his sperm, and got pregnant, should that judge be forced to pay child support or sign the birth certificate? Seriously what would any judge in their right mind do in such a situation?
If my name isn't on the birth certificate can she just give me babe to child support and can they make me pay it in Florida without a DNA test?
What if I'm not on the certificate,and don't want custody and don't want a paternity test and she doesn't know my name

2:13 Then why don't you as an attorney do something to help put a law in place to protect fathers? Sure, you know everything about it, sure you can explain in great detail how fathers are getting a shaft, amd I've watched a 1000 videos similar, but why aren't people helping fathers instead of just taking their money?
