The parent(s) can put anyone's name on the birth certificate.

This statement is not true in the state of Kansas. My son had a child with a married woman who was separated from her husband. In the state of Kansas the husband is always considered the father of the child. In order to get the true parent's name on the birth certificate a divorce has to take place and then the real parent has to go to court to ask for his name to be put on the birth certificate.

A divorce is not needed but the biological father has to provide proof via a DNA test and show the court and then his name can be put on the birth certificate.

First, you must establish paternity through the courts, either by genetic testing or your acknowledgment of paternity.

In North Carolina if youre separated and pregnant with another mans child who will be on the birth certificate?

The mother should put the actual fathers name on the birth certificate.


If the father is not legally divorced from another woman does his name still go on the birth certificate?

If the mother is not married to anyone else there is no one else considered to be the more likely father, so the father's marital status does not bar him from claiming the child and signing the birth certificate if he is willing to do so.

How long does a father have to sign the birth certificate?

The mother must be of course. Yet, if the father can not be then no, or if you don't want the father to sign he does not have to. In Michigan when a child is born the mother fills out a form. The mother is asked if she is married and instructed based on her answer what information is needed. Paternity is established through court. If you are married or the father accepts paternity it is a legal matter. I'm still amazed at people stating the father signed the birth certificate. In Michigan there is no place on the certificate for any signature outside of the doctors.

So he have to go to court to get his rights while the mother does not since there are witnesses she is the mother. So yes, a father def have rights to his child.
