What will happen if the mother doesn't want the father to have paternal rights?

In the UK, if you are married when your children are born, you both automatically have parental rights. If you are not married, then you have to apply for parental responsibility rights, if the mother does not want to share that with you. This can be done by court order. After 2003, if not married but father is written on the birth certificate, that is enough to have parental responsibility and all that that entails. Not sure how it is for you guys in the USA!

How do you terminate the parental rights of the father when his name is not on the birth certificate?

It depends on was the father's name on the birth certificate to begin. But usually yes as a friend of mine just adopted two children and the biological parents names are on the birth certificate and they both terminated their rights to the children. A persons name remains the same on their birth cirtificate until they legally change it, or if they are a minor, their parent legally changes it. If the father has given up his legal rights, he has given up any legal decision making for this child until they are 18. The child will have their birth name until their mother changes it legally.
