File a motion to challenge custody, but if you have contact with the child, you can do it with a simple test bought at a pharmacy. It will not be admissible as evidence, but if it comes back negative, you will not need to go to the extra expense. Only two samples are required.

If you are unmarried you would need to establish your "paternity" in court before you have parental rights. An unmarried mother has legal custody of her child. She could have you ruled out as the father by requesting a DNA test through the courts. When you knowingly commit perjury on a birth certificate you create a difficult and messy situation for everyone involved. You should consult with an attorney.If you are unmarried you would need to establish your "paternity" in court before you have parental rights. An unmarried mother has legal custody of her child.

Yes, all you need is something with his DNA on it like a hair with the roots still on it from his hairbrush for instance.
Depends. Even if he is not on the birth certificate he can still have a court ordered visitation and pay child support. In that case she needs both his and the courts permission.
He has the right to petition the courts for a determination of paternity and, if he is the father, the right to pay child support and petition for visitation.
You may file a petition for genetic testing with the courts. Your chances of success vary depending on the jurisdiction and the amount of time that has passed since you signed the acknowledgment of paternity.
Go for it?
No, the father on the birth certificate is financially responsible unless proven that he's not the father by DNA. About 12 years ago in the state of NJ The court ordered me to pay child support to the biological father (Dna test showed I was not the biological father) The court called me the psychological father so in the courts opinion I was her father. And like the biological Mother he also drank it away.

the right to petition the courts for a determination of paternity and, following such a determination, the right to pay child support and have contact (visitation) with the child
Anybody who wants to can be responsible financially.If they don't want to, the fact that they're listed on the birth certificate is essentially meaningless. In many places, the mother can list whoever she wants as the father on the birth certificate; she's not required to actually prove it. Courts do not necessarily assume that it's correct, and particularly if the person listed can prove he's not the biological father, it would be a travesty of justice if they forced him to pay child support anyway.No, no, no. A man's name can be on the birth certificate only if he signs an acknowledgment of paternity. This makes him the child's father until/unless a court rules otherwise.
A child's biological father can have his name added to a child's birth certificate regardless of whether or not the mother agrees to it. If the biological father voluntarily relinquishes his parental rights and the child is legally adopted by another man, his name can be added to the birth certificate in place of the biological father.
Except in Arizona, the mother has sole custody and the father has to apply for his rights through the courts.
