What rights do you have if you have taken a paternity test and you pay child support but your not on the birth certificate?
Kmoreno08
As long as you have a test proving paternity, you have full rights. My daughters father is not on her birth certificate, but has a paternity test. He can have visitation and such as we decide fit. ---- But, only after a court order is established. With the exception of Arizona, under all possible circumstances, including long term cohabitation, a single father has no assumed rights to the child without a court order.

When a child is incarcerated does the maternal grandmother have more rights to the children than the paternal grandfather if the father is not on the birth certificate?
You don't say which of the parents that are incarcerated but their rights to the child comes first. If the father is not in the birth certificate and he has not established paternity to the court so he can petition for visitation or custody and also pay child support, there is nothing that legally says he is the father. Then the maternal grandmother would have a better chance. If the father is not in the birth certificate but he has established paternity to the court so he can petition for visitation or custody and also pay child support, the chance should be equal.
Does father have rights if his name is not on birthcertificate?
In the US, generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he must establish his paternity by signing the birth certificate at the time of birth (waiving DNA testing rights) which must be done with mother's consent. If he doesn't sign the birth certificate then he must seek another way to establish his paternity and that is done through a DNA test. A paternity test can be arranged through the court. Once paternity is established in court, the father can request visitations or custody through the court. If the mother retains physical custody she can request that the court issue a child support order. If the father gets physical custody he can request a child support order. In the UK the father has no rights if the fathers name is on the birth certificate or not. The father has to "exercise" his rights in a court of law either way.
