There is a fairly brief period in which the man may rescind his acknowledgment of paternity (in Illinois, 60 days). Surnames are meaningless in paternity determinations.

In California does a biological father have to file for custody or is it automatic?

Single fathers have no assumed rights in any state until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he must seek other means of establishing his paternity and that is done through paternity test. A paternity test can be arranged through the court and once established the father can request visitations, custody and set up child support for the child.


What if the birth father is in jail he did not sign the birth certificate and I sent him the papers. Paternity is not acknowledge. I have a warrant against. Does he have right to my child?

He doesn't have any rights (or responsibilities, either, for that matter) until/unless paternity is established. Once that is done, however, he could request visitation or even custody of the child.


Is it mandatory in the state of Mississippi for a child to have his or her father's last name if the parents are not married but the father is paying child support?

I�m assuming the last name is different because the father did not voluntarily acknowledge paternity? I assume this because in Mississippi, if you're unmarried but paternity is acknowledged (by both parents signing an acknowledgement of paternity form) then the father�s name is listed on the birth certificate, and the child is given the father�s last name--unless both the mother and father agree otherwise (and if they agree otherwise, then I believe an affidavit has to be filed in regard to that). You can file for child support even though the child does not have the father�s last name. If Dad has not voluntarily acknowledged paternity, then paternity would have to first be established, and a DNA test would be ordered. Once paternity is established, the court will order that Dad�s name be added to the birth certificate, and "In the event of court-determined paternity, the surname of the child shall be that of the father, unless the judgment specifies otherwise." (Per Mississippi Code 93-9-9) I�m originally from Mississippi, and in every single case that I�ve personally heard of involving court-determined paternity, the child's last name has been changed to that of the father's. But I will admit that the cases I know of involved very young children (so no situations of a child who�d had Mom�s last name for 10 years and then suddenly had that changed). I'm getting wordy, I know :) To answer your question--is it *mandatory* for the child to have the father's last name in order to receive child support? No. Is there a chance that the child's last name might be changed? Yes.


Can a mother stop the father doing a DNA test on a child when the fathers name is on the birth certificate?

No, as she need not even know, unless it applies to child support. With a 30% paternity fraud rate, men should always check paternity. see link
