You will have to pay child support only after paternity has been established either by presumption (i.e., you two were married at the time), your acknowledgment or genetic testing.
No. However, if the alleged father has signed the birth certificate, he is acknowledging that the child is his. There are steps to take in order to be taken off of the birth certificate and relieved of the obligation of child support, including a paternity test and an amendment to the birth certificate.
The man who signed the birth certificate is the child's legal father until/unless a court rules otherwise, and can be made to pay support.
To get a Florida birth certificate (or a birth certificate in any other state, for that matter), the child had to have been born in Florida.
He doesn't have to; however, the other parent will presumably seek child support sooner or later, and he will be asked to acknowledge paternity or undergo genetic testing at that time.
P.S. OR DOES CHILD SUPPORT START FROM THE DAY PATERNITY IS PROVEN????
You should do any kind of maintenance or child support through the court after determining that the child is yours. The fact that your name is not on the birth certificate raises the question that the child may not be yours. That's my opinion anyway.

Yes and he still have to pay whether he signs the birth certificate or not.
Yes, if/when paternity is established.

No you do not. Many states actually do not put the father on the Birth Certificate unless specifically asked to. You may however, in the process of getting assistance be required to name who the father is. This is so the state can start legal proceedings against him for child support.
Unlikely. Your husband is the legal father of the child.
Not signing a birth certificate does not remove one's responsibility. If you are not the bio parent of the child, attempt to arrange for testing that will be evidence of that. Otherwise, you are the parent of a child.
Yes, but paternity must be established first.
The father can file for this change.
If the man signed the birth certificate knowing he was not the father he may be held responsible for providing child support until the child is eighteen in many states. If he did not sign the birth certificate it is unusual that he is paying child support. If he failed to request a DNA test at the appropriate time, again, he may have to keep paying. He needs to consult with an attorney who specializes in child support issues in his jurisdiction, who can review all the details of the situation and explain his options.If the man signed the birth certificate knowing he was not the father he may be held responsible for providing child support until the child is eighteen in many states.
