No you do not. Many states actually do not put the father on the Birth Certificate unless specifically asked to. You may however, in the process of getting assistance be required to name who the father is. This is so the state can start legal proceedings against him for child support.

No, you should not but the baby's father's last name on the birth certificate.

Is there any way you can get the father name taken off the birth certificate?

Perhaps you could if he relinquishes all rights or if your new husband adopts the child. However, even if you do somehow remove the name from the certificate, the fact is that he is still the biological father. Better to move on in life; fixing this will not make a large difference to the situation in the end.
