Parental Right Florida for non custodial parent denied contact or the physical address of his 5 year old daughter that I pay child support.

   Congratulations, you are stuck in the quagmire faced by many parents where the state pursues collection of child support (which, by the way you do have an obligation to support your child), but where you have no rights in that particular case to pursue obtaining a timesharing schedule and parenting plan so you can get time (court ordered) with your child.     The solution is to file a separate suit in the family division of the Circuit Court of Orange County.  Now, although you live in Alachua County, since the child lives in Orange and presumably the mom, that is most likely to be the proper venue (place for filing the suit).  In that suit you can ask for the court to fashion a parenting plan and time sharing schedule.     You many not be on the birth certificate...You can ask for a copy in the suit.  If there has been a paternity test and/or you've admitted paternity, you can ask for the court to order that your name be added to the birth certificate.  And while you're at it, you can request that your last name be added to your child's name as well.     You would be best served to contact an attorney to help you navigate all of this, or at least have a consultation to get you some more information to get on the right track.
