No, you cannot sign a birth certificate if you are not the biological father.
Oh yeah. The biological father and mother are put on the certificate.
If you are adopted, your biological father has no legal standing. And there is no requirement that any parent sign a wedding certificate. If you are underage, you may need signatures to obtain the marriage license and it would be the adoptive parent that would have to sign.
Except in an adoption, there is no such person as a "non biological father." The only man who should be signing a birth certificate is the child's biological father. Any other man who signs it is making an illegal statement.
The birth certificate can only have one father and only the biological father is allowed to be on it. And only he can sign it. A step parent have no legal right to the child.
He would have all of the rights that a biological father has. If he was not the biological father, then his name should not have been put on the birth certificate in the first place, unless he adopted her and the birth certificate was changed.
Yes, it is illegal to knowingly sign a birth certificate claiming to be the father when you are not the biological father. This act is considered fraud and can have legal consequences.
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.
A non-biological "father"; essentially, when a woman remarries after her husband's death/divorce, her new spouse is a step father to her children.
The biological father. He does not have to be on the bc to do so. In court he will prove paternity with a DNA test.
Go to vital records and request a copy of birth records. Ask to see Childs school file with birth record in it. If you are not on the birth certificate, you cannot request a copy.
A DNA test can prove if the biological father is actually the father. If it is proven he is the father, then he should have all parental rights as any other parent.
