This could be called "perjury." If you want to establish that you are the father, run, don't walk, to the appropriate court and request a determination of paternity, probably by genetic testing.

Can your lesbian girlfriend sign your unborn childbirth certificated as your unbornn son's father because his father isn't in his life?
Absolutely not!! The father must sign an acknowledgment of paternity in order for his name to appear on the birth certificate.
Can you legally add a name without biological father?
You can give your child any name you want. The father is the only one who can add himself to the birth certificate however, so just because you give your child his last name does not mean the state will recognize him as the father and hold him responsible for the child in the absence of a paternity test or admission of paternity from him.
How can you use the word paternity in a sentence?
The man doubted the paternity of the child because he did not remember ever meeting the mother.
Why does your cat leave after she mates?
Because it doesn't want to assume paternity
I want to change my daughter's last name I gave her my maiden name at birth Her biological father is not on the birth certificate and has never proven paternity Do I still go to court?
Well, yes, because a court needs to approve the name change--which should not be difficult to do.
What if mother doesnt want DNA test because she knows he is the father can he still be put on child support?
Paternity must be established before support is established. Paternity may be established by the father's acknowledgment of paternity in open court.
Can You get child support from an ex even if he isn't the bio dad?
Only if he signed an acknowledgment of paternity or his paternity is presumed because the two of you were married when the child was born/conceived.
Does insurance cover the price of paternity testing?
There is no insurance that would cover paternity testing (because it is not a medical need). Someone can fund their own test and it runs about $1000.
Do you have to list the father on the birth certificate?
no you dont. i actually just looked at mine like 2 minutes ago and only my moms name is on there. Because they know for sure which women the kid came out of but to find out for sure which man it was they have to get DNA from him so its easier just to have the mom sign the paper because they know for a fact that she is the mother.
If father name is already on birth certificate does paternity test still need to be performed?
There is an old common law saying, "A wise child knows his father." We always know who the Mother of a child is, but a name on the birth certificate only means that man is now legally responsible for the child's support, whether he actually fathered the child or not. There is also a presumption, if a man is married to a woman, he is the father of any child from the marriage. So if you are unsure about who actually fathered the child, a paternity test needs to be performed. But just because the man named on the birth certificate may not have actually fathered the child, most courts will make him still legally responsible for the child's support.
If a child is born in marriage and the father knows it is not his biological child and signs the birth certificate can he go back later to prove paternity because we have divorced?
In 20 states, no. In most of the other 30, yes unless he learns 2 years after the divorce, than no. see link
How expensive is paternity testing?
A good paternity test can cost up to $79 but is well worth the cost because you will get an accurate reading from a lab. Its always good to be thorough with these kinds of situations.
