Best Answer

A child's biological father can have his name added to a child's birth certificate regardless of whether or not the mother agrees to it. If the biological father voluntarily relinquishes his parental rights and the child is legally adopted by another man, his name can be added to the birth certificate in place of the biological father.

A father does not have to be on the bc to have parental rights. To get his rights, if he was not married to the mother when the baby was born, he have to prove paternity in court and can then pay child support and get visitation or custody. So if he is paying child support or have visitation you need his and the courts permission to move out of state. Just visiting out of state is fine if you can agree on the visitation schedule to work in case you will be gone on his days. He can then say no if the visitation is not working.

No. If the father can prove that he is the biological father (with a DNA test) then he can legally have his name added to the birth certificate with or without the mother's permission.

No but it makes it easier. If not there he has to prove paternity in court before he can sign it.

Who has right a child if the mother and father both sign the birth certificate?

It depends on the state. In some states, a father who is unmarried to the mother acquires legal rights by signing the birth certificate. In other states, signing the birth certificate conveys no legal right, and the father still must proceed with a legitimation or paternity proceeding in order to become the legal father.
