By law, the "father" is the man who signed the birth certificate unless/until paternity is established in some other way.

You cant. What you have to do is get an affadavit of paternity, which has to be signed and notarized by both parents, but not at the same time. Both parents sign and have it notarized, then send it to your state office of vital statistics and the birth certificate will be amended.

It is possible to legally establish paternity even if the father's name is not on the birth certificate.
If a man hasn't signed the birth certificate and declines a paternity test at the child support hearing will his name be automatically added to the birth certificate after support is decided?
Not automatically but the courts will usually file an order for paternity and if it isn't done the court may then file contempt charges then you have a chance to be jailed for that contempt choose your battles wisely .
If you sign birth certificate do you have to pay child support if later you are found to not be the father?
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.

IF YOU pay child support and sign birth certifacte does that estabilsh paternity?
By "sign the birth certificate" I assume you mean, signed a voluntary acknowledgment of paternity. That establishes paternity. Paying child support does not establish paternity. But, if you're paying child support and later learn you're not the father, you cannot stop paying under any circumstances in 20 states, and had a two year limit to file in the other 30, even if the mother has married the biological father. Always get a paternity test before signing a birth certificate. see links
Why doesn't your birth certificate have any parents names on it?
Generally, a birth certificate includes the father's name only if that man has signed an acknowlegment of paternity.
