If the fathers name is on the birth certificate does he have to pay child support if he and the mother aggree not to?

If the mother doesn't seek a child support order no one will make the father pay. However, keep in mind that the mother can always change her mind and get back child support in the future. If the child and/or mother are receiving any state assistance the father will be required to pay child support.Fathers are responsible for supporting their children. If the mother doesn't need the child support then she should put it in the bank for the child's collegeeducation.


What rights does a father have if the mother of his unborn child leaves the state and denies him the right to care for his child and then comes back 6 years later suing for child support?

He has to prove paternity in court to get his parental rights. He can then petition for custody, visitation and pay child support and also petition to sign the birth certificate. He could have done this 6 years ago when the child was born. The mother cannot deny him his parental rights. Now he will have to pay child support and he can even owe for 6 years back.


Can the mother name anyone she wants as the birth father on the birth certificate?

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.

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.

2-18 years, depending on the state, but a growning number of judges are taking the stance of Judge David Grey Ross, Commissioner of the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement in opposing the practice.


How can I sell my birth certificate back to the government?

You cannot sell your birth certificate back to the government. Birth certificates are legal documents that are not meant to be sold or traded. If you no longer need your birth certificate, you can keep it for personal records or return it to the government for safekeeping.
