The parents of a child are unmarried and the father's name is not on the birth certificate. The mother gave the child her last name. Does she have to change it to her father's last name?
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.
Why would a birth certificate not have my parents names on it?
There are a couple reasons. One make sure it a state certified birth certificate and not a Certificate of birth from the hospital, these usually have your foot prints on them. Two could be an adoption matter. In either case this is a matter that should talk to your parents about.
Would your child's father who is not on the birth certificate have pay child support if he is in CA?

Does a mother have to let the father see their child if his name is not on the birth certificate and she doesn't approve him to watch their child?
Not if the parents are not married. The father would need to file a court action to establish paternity, a child visitation schedule and a child support order.
Can anyone tell me how to get copies of a child's birth certificate before she was adopted. I am the biological father who gave up rights?
I would think the hospital where the child was born would be able to help you find a birth certificate. After a child is adopted I would not think they would be able to modify a birth certificate because it shows who the father is, and biologically that doesnt change regardless of who adopts the child. It would only show in adoption paperwork, but if the records are sealed then you best hire an Investigator.
Why can't a man be put on the birth certificate if DNA results exclude him but he wants the child and knows the child is his?

What is the difference between baptismal certificate and birth certificate?
Many hospitals issue a 'Certificate of Live Birth' or something similar to parents; it has no legal standing. The 'Birth Certificate' is issued by the appropriate legal authority (e.g. registrar or court house) when the birth is officially registered. It is the birth certificate that establishes and records the child's name and identifies the parents. It is normally regarded as a means of identification whereas a hospital certificate would not be accepted for this purpose.
Do i have to pay child support if another mans name is on the birth certificate in the state of Oklahoma even though a DNA test has been done?
Legally no. The only way you would have to pay support is if she removed the other mans name from the birth certificate and got a paternity test. The people on the birth certificate are the legal parents unless otherwise removed which costs $500 to do. Good luck.
How do scientists know how old they are?
Their parents probably would have told them when they were born, and most scientists have a birth certificate that has recorded their date of birth.
What if the wrong father is put on the birth certificate?
A deceased father's name is not removed from any birth certificate. The purpose of an official record of birth is to record the name of the child's biological parents. Every child's father dies at some point. Their names are not removed from the birth certificate for that reason.
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.
