No, however he shouldn't until a paternity test is run as 30% of the test come out negative. Once he does sign he's responsible even if later he learns he's not the father. see link below
Yes - the man signing the birth certificate is the child's legal father unless/until established otherwise in court.
no , ese the faether name is not on the certificate so it does not have proof that it's the father
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.
No he have to sign it in order to be on there.
No. By signing the certificate he says he is the father of the child. If he then wants visitation rights or custody he have to petition in court after he has established paternity by a DNA test. He can then also pay child support.
Go to vital records and request a copy of birth records. Ask to see Childs school file with birth record in it. If you are not on the birth certificate, you cannot request a copy.
No, this is why the birth certificate does not hold up in court when the father seek paternal rights because it is not fool proof by showing DNA. If you are not married I strongly recommend you get it done though before he signs. Only the biological father is allowed to sign it and if you know the one signing it is not the father, you are committing fraud.
No, they cannot prevent the father from being on a birth certificate if he consents to it. They cannot add him without his permission.
Except in an adoption, there is no such person as a "non biological father." The only man who should be signing a birth certificate is the child's biological father. Any other man who signs it is making an illegal statement.
Not yet, but working on it. see profile
There is no law addressing this. However, not signing it does not prevent the father from obtaining parental rights.
DNA testing can be done before or after a birth certificate is signed if there is any question about who the father of a child is or if visitation rights are being contested.
