Neither ... the " father " has to pay owed child support only when there is an existing case open and ordered to pay said support by a family court judge ... And subsequently has not met all payments if any at all ...
Yes, a man who signs a birth certificate is legally considered the father of the child and can be required to pay child support.
No. However, if the alleged father has signed the birth certificate, he is acknowledging that the child is his. There are steps to take in order to be taken off of the birth certificate and relieved of the obligation of child support, including a paternity test and an amendment to the birth certificate.
The father can file for this change.
If the father signs the birth certificate, he legally acknowledges paternity of the child. This means he may have rights and responsibilities, such as custody, visitation, and child support.
Unlikely. Your husband is the legal father of the child.
Yes, if/when paternity is established.
Yes and he still have to pay whether he signs the birth certificate or not.
Not really. It depends on the situation.
Yes, but paternity must be established first.
If you sign a birth certificate and the child is not biologically yours, you may still be legally considered the child's father and have parental responsibilities, such as child support and visitation rights. It is important to be sure of paternity before signing a birth certificate.
Yes, but then you would lose your rights as the child's legal father.
The man who signed the birth certificate is the child's legal father until/unless a court rules otherwise, and can be made to pay support.
