The man on the birth certificate.
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.
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.
The name of the actual father of the child should go on the birth certificate. If you are not legally divorced, then your legal husband would be automatically considered to be the child's father by law. If the child has a different father, he can complete a voluntary acknowledgement of the paternity of a child, in which he signs that he is the child's father and is therefore put on the birth certificate and named as the legal father. The hospital will help with this after the baby is born.
Generally, the man on the birth certificate is the child's legal father, unless/until proven otherwise.
Even if no custody and access orders are in place, the father has up to six months to file an injunction ordering the return of the child to the jurisdiction of the court.
If the father can not sign at birth he will have to go to court to be allowed to sign after he has proved paternity.
Unlikely. Your husband is the legal father of the child.
Here in the Philippines, a mother can not just name any person as the father of her child in the Birth Certificate. They will look for a marriage contract as their reference when you named your child under his/her father's surname. Or if not married, they let the father fill up the Affidavit of Acknowledgement/Admission of Paternity at the back of the Birth Certificate.
The father can file for this change.
Not necessarily. A person that is on a birth certificate, but is not really the child's father, is just taking responsibility for them. They can't really get into any trouble, legally.
Yes and he still have to pay whether he signs the birth certificate or not.
