no you only have too because of the law and so that you have proof who your father is otherwise if the fathers name is not put on you can have a DNA test which is 99.8 % of the time correct.
answer is simple. GET A LAWYER
Yes. Well most of the time she can but sometimes she cant it depends why she went to jail
yes =)
No because the person who provides the information on a birth certificate is attesting to its veracity. A birth certificate is an official record. There may be sanctions imposed if the information is found to be untrue. You would also be committing a serious injustice to the child to lie about its parentage.
If the father wants custody rights, this would be usable in court.
Yes, it's a GLASS CEILING thing, only fathers are relegated to subbasement with no stairs to climb. see link below
Like what?
Since the biological father did not sign the birth certificate, he has no legal rights to the child unless he wants to pursue them through means of a paternity test which he would have to pay for.
If the child is his, A DNA test would prove it You cannot be put on a birth certificate if the DNA proves you are not the father unless the mother agrees to it.
The mother is the legal guardian from birth and can give the child any name she wants but she can not sign for the father on the birth certificate. He have to sign it and if she was below age of consent when the child was conceived he can go to prison for statutory rape.
That is usually a matter of choice. Most usually if the parents are together the child usually gets the fathers family name but if they're no longer a couple then most usually the child gets the mothers name providing of course that she wants to keep the child.
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.
