Yes, but if the action is challenged by the biological father the BC and the custodial rights to the child can be altered.
Technically some might view such an action as fraud. However, if it is done with good intent there would be no legal repercussions but possible civil ones as noted above.
This question really is quite confusing. The only people that can be on the birth cirtificate is the mother and who ever signs as the father. There would be no place for your girlfriend to sign if she is not the mother of the child.
I assume by "birth certificate" you mean, voluntary acknowledgment of paternity. If you sign such a document knowing your statement is false, you can be convicted of perjury. If you wish to raise the child as your own, you should take steps to adopt.
In addition, you could be held financially responsible.
Yeah they can , actually my big sister had a baby and her and her partner ( a woman) names are both on the birth certificate
Putting a father's name on the birth certificate does not make him legally the father if you are not married to him. You can put his name on the birth certificate, but realize that it has no legal impact. In order to have paternity established, it has to be done with a court order.
I know that in the state of pennsylvania, the father must be present to sign the babies birth certificate in order for the baby to have the fathers last name.
When I had my daughter, her father was not able to be there at the time, so I was the only one to sign the birth certifiate as a parent. The father's name can be added by the father at a later date if that is what either of you wants to do. No one but the biological parents can sign a birth certificate.
Yes, there's a 30% rate of paternity fraud where a mother gets a man whose not the father to sign the birth certificate.
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.
You haven't explained whose birth certificate. If it's her biological child then she must sign the birth certificate. The biological parents of the child sign the birth certificate.
Why would you want to sign a birth certificate?
Ordinarily this happens shortly after the child's birth.
Absolutely not!! The father must sign an acknowledgment of paternity in order for his name to appear on the birth certificate.
If you didn't sign birth certificate at hospital good luck. The only happy person that will come out of that situation is the lawyer.
no
No. Ones astrological sign based on ones date of birth has no legal, or scientific bearing.
Yes, if he is the one who fathered the child. Father's do not typically sign the birth certificate though, although he can be named on it.
um no way do you have to sign anything ...
