Every state has a statute of limitations as far as determining paternity and the length of time for obligation to pay retroactive child support varies from state to state as well. You would need to provide your state of residence and your child's current age for an accurate answer.

What documents are needed to ask for support if father is unknown on birth certificate?
If the father is unknown, you can't file for support.
Does the father's name have to be on the birth certificate for the mother to collect child support?
The father can file for this change.
Does a father have to pay child support when the mother refuses to list him as father on the birth certificate?
Not really. It depends on the situation.
If you are not the bioligical father and sign the birth certificate can the bioligical father still be ordered to pay child support?
Yes, but then you would lose your rights as the child's legal father.
Can you get the father of your child for child support even though your husband signed the birth certificate?
Unlikely. Your husband is the legal father of the child.
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 a fathers name is listed on the birth certificate does that make him a legal guardian?
If a father's name is on the birth certificate that does not make him a legal guardian, it makes him a father. The two are technically different. In this state a father can have guardianship without establishing it. A father can be forced to pay child support while a guardian can not.
Can you still receive child support from the alleged father if another person's name is on the birth certificate?
No, the father on the birth certificate is financially responsible unless proven that he's not the father by DNA. About 12 years ago in the state of NJ The court ordered me to pay child support to the biological father (Dna test showed I was not the biological father) The court called me the psychological father so in the courts opinion I was her father. And like the biological Mother he also drank it away.
Does The father Have rights if his name Is not on the certificate?
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.
Do you have to pay child support if your not the biological father but your the father on birth certificate?
Yes, you do. You fathered the child and now you need to pay for what you did. Accept the responsibility.
Can you get child support if the father's name is not on the birth certificate?
Yes, but paternity must be established first.
Will my benefits change if the baby father is on the certificate Im on income support child tax credits and child benefit in a council flat?
If the father is on the birth certificate you will still get all your incomes. The only way this could change for you is if the father had full custody or lived in the home.
