By "sign the birth certificate" I assume you mean, signed a voluntary acknowledgment of paternity. That establishes paternity. Paying child support does not establish paternity.
But, if you're paying child support and later learn you're not the father, you cannot stop paying under any circumstances in 20 states, and had a two year limit to file in the other 30, even if the mother has married the biological father. Always get a paternity test before signing a birth certificate.

If there is a question of paternity how does that effect the child support?
Support cannot be determined until paternity is determined; however, keep in mind that if the parents were married at the child's birth/conception, the husband is presumed to be the father.
Can you get child support if the father's name is not on the birth certificate?
Yes, but paternity must be established first.
Would your child's father who is not on the birth certificate have pay child support if he is in CA?
Yes, if/when paternity is established.
If the birth father signs the birth certificate will he be forced to pay child support from previous children?
Only if his paternity of the previous children is established.
Can you sue your chid's father if his name is not on the birth cert?
Yes. Most courts now order a paternity test to establish paternity legally. Then visitation and child support order can be established.
Do you have to pay child support if you didnt sign the birth form?
If paternity has been established the biological mother or person who has legal custody of the minor child can petition the court for child support from the father. The matter of not signing the birth certificate is irrelevant.
Could you claim back child support for your child if partner you are now with the birth father prior to paternity test?

If the father's name is listed on birth certificate does he still need paternity testing before ordered to pay child support?
No, it is up the individual to disprove paternity. You will have to pay until you prove you are not the father. ---- Answers With the growing reports on Paternity Fraud in Child Support cases, a paternity test should be done on all births. A Paternity Testing Kit manufacturer is currently producing a "TRUST, BUT CONFIRM" commercial specifically addressing this.
If a man hasn't signed the birth certificate and declines a paternity test at the child support hearing will his name be automatically added to the birth certificate after support is decided?
Not automatically but the courts will usually file an order for paternity and if it isn't done the court may then file contempt charges then you have a chance to be jailed for that contempt choose your battles wisely .
Do yo have to pay child support in Texas if there is no paternity test proving the child is yours?
In most states, if you were married to the mother of the child at the time of the birth of the child you are automatically assumed by the courts to be the father. Also, if you were unmarried at the time of the child's birth but the mother listed you as the father, you can be sued for child support unless you request a paternity test from the court.
