I was told the child was mine. Believing the mother after a few one night stands i signed the birth certificate. Court order paternity establishes i am not the biological father. How can i get released from this obligation
You will need to file an action to disestablish paternity. However, to do s requires strict compliance with Florida Statute 742.18. You mus allege via a sworn statement that newly discovered evidence has been revealed since you signed the birth certificate. For example, you were tricked into signing the birth certificate. Even still, a court may deny the disestablishment because you signed the birth certificate. This is definitely a tricky area where an attorney can help.
Good luck,
