he can sign as long as he acknowledges that he is the father
Q: WHAT IF THE MOTHER REFUSES TO LET THE FATHER SIGN IT, THERE MUST BE A LAW BY NOW WHERE HE CAN FIGHT AGGAINST THIS, THIS ISSUE IS RIPPING MY FAMILY TO PIECES
The biological father does have parental rights but he have to petition the court for visitation rights and custody.
Helen Keller's birth certificate was signed by Dr. Thomas Hopkins, who was the attending physician at her birth.
By law, the "father" is the man who signed the birth certificate unless/until paternity is established in some other way.
yeah sure whatever homboyy
I know that in the state of pennsylvania, the father must be present to sign the babies birth certificate in order for the baby to have the fathers last name.
Yes, but the father can motion the family court to stop the action, or have it changed back when he finds out.
Unlikely. Your husband is the legal father of the child.
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.
This will require a trip to the DNA lab and then a trip to court for an order.
If what is meant by the term "legitimate" pertains to whether the father is responsible for supporting the child, then the answer would be yes. Once paternity has been established either by the signing of the birth certificate, a declaration of parentage or by DNA testing the father can be held responsible for support of the child and likewise he is entitled to petition for custodial or visitation rights.
Generally, a birth certificate includes the father's name only if that man has signed an acknowlegment of paternity.
The man who signed the birth certificate is the child's legal father until/unless a court rules otherwise, and can be made to pay support.
It depends upon a lot of factors - where you live, rather or not the mother is agreeable to his name being placed on the birth certificate, if there is already a father listed on the birth certificate, if the mother was married to someone else at the time she gave birth, etc., etc.
