Yes, a man who signs the birth certificate but is not the biological father can be held legally responsible for the child, depending on the laws of the state and the circumstances of the case.

Yes , the biological father will be held legally responsible for the support of his child .
He doesn't have to adopt the baby. He's already the legal father.
No, you cannot sign a birth certificate if you are not the biological father.
What exactly are you asking? If the mother is married the husband is automatically the father legally unless the biological father sign the birth certificate or prove paternity in court.
Oh yeah. The biological father and mother are put on the 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.
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.
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.
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.
It is possible to legally establish paternity even if the father's name is not on the birth certificate.
Then you are still legally the father just as if you were genetically the father.
