You have to prove by DNA test that you are the father. Then you can go to court and petition for visitation and custody. Until you have established paternity you have nothing. You also have to petition the court to have your name on the birth certificate.

If you are determined to be the father you will also be required to pay child support.

How can you hide your child's birth records from the father?

You may be in serious troubles, sooner or later he will find out, or somebody else.


If a man signs the birth certificate and has been there since the birth of the child and find out 6 years later that he isn't the biological father what rights does he have to the child?

If you're in the US, he has the same rights as any other father, because he is the legal father (biological is irrelevant at this point).


If you sign birth certificate do you have to pay child support if later you are found to not be the father?

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.


If the father knows the child is his and has signed the birth certificate then why does the child have to be ligitimised and is the rule only in the state of GA?

An illegitimate child is a child born out of marriage. It doesn't matter if the father is known or not, what matters is that the parents were not married at the time of birth. A child can be legitimised if the two parents get married later. Rules on illegitimacy vary from place to place.


Who signs the birth certificate if the father does not?

When I had my daughter, her father was not able to be there at the time, so I was the only one to sign the birth certifiate as a parent. The father's name can be added by the father at a later date if that is what either of you wants to do. No one but the biological parents can sign a birth certificate.

Father not on birth certificate. Does a father have to pay back child support after positive DNA test 13 yrs later?

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.
