if I signed the birth certificate but I'm not the biological father can I get out of paying child support

Dear Mr. Summerlin:    Under Florida law, if you signed an affidavit of voluntary acknowledgment of paternity then there is a rebuttable presumption you are the father of the child.  This voluntary acknowledgment is different from the birth certificate so I would check to see if you actually signed that document, because if you did not, then no paternity has actually been established and you can challenge that.  If the Department of Revene cannot produce the voluntary acknowledgment you should  ask the Court to have a paternity/blood test to show that you are not the child's father. As to the acknowledgmentm there is an automatic 60 day period from signing the voluntary acknowledgment  when it can be revoked.   After that period of time the court may only allow a collateral challenge to the acknowledgment of paternity based on fraud, duress or marterial mistake of fact.   You would have to bring that challenge before the Court, if there was in fact fraud, duress or a material mistake of fact, which you would have to prove.   Best of luck, Cindy S.
