The man on the birth certificate.

If your name is on the child's birth certificate as the father or you have sense assumed parental responsibilities for that child, then you may be required to cover the child regardless of biological paternity. This can be challenged by filing an appeal to have your name removed from the birth certificate if you wish.
Except in an adoption, there is no such person as a "non biological father." The only man who should be signing a birth certificate is the child's biological father. Any other man who signs it is making an illegal statement.
Your spouse may adopt the child but the court will have to serve notice of that proceeding to the biological father.
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.
No. The real parents sign the birth certificate of their child unless they refuse, I think. So sorry if I'm wrong!
In Utah, if father isn't present at the birth of child, a paternity test has to be performed in order to list him on birth certificate.
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, if the "real" father signs an acknowledgment of paternity.
Yes, but if you're not married to her, you have no rights to the child. see link
NO. In most states the father of the child must be present at the time of birth to sign the birth certificate as the father of the child. It could, in reality, be any man who would be willing to take legal responsibility for the unborn child. A child will only automatically get the father's name if the two parents are married. Even if the father pays child support, the mother is not obigated to change the child's last name to that of the father.
