Can you still receive child support from the alleged father if another person's name is on the birth certificate?

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.


Do you have to list the father on a birth certificate?

No, this is why the birth certificate does not hold up in court when the father seek paternal rights because it is not fool proof by showing DNA. If you are not married I strongly recommend you get it done though before he signs. Only the biological father is allowed to sign it and if you know the one signing it is not the father, you are committing fraud.


In Va if you are NOT by DNA be the father do you still pay child support?

You will have to file with the original court to have the child support order lifted in light of the new evidence. In some states however if you were married and or signed the birth certificate you are legally responsible for the child regardless of biological relationship.


Can you legally add a name without biological father?

You can give your child any name you want. The father is the only one who can add himself to the birth certificate however, so just because you give your child his last name does not mean the state will recognize him as the father and hold him responsible for the child in the absence of a paternity test or admission of paternity from him.


Does Father payments if name not on birth certificate?

It is possible to legally establish paternity even if the father's name is not on the birth certificate.


What happens if your on the birth certificate but you really are not the father?

Then you are still legally the father just as if you were genetically the father.
