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.

Your name is not on the birth certificate only the mothers where do you stand when asked for maintenance?

You should do any kind of maintenance or child support through the court after determining that the child is yours. The fact that your name is not on the birth certificate raises the question that the child may not be yours. That's my opinion anyway.

Not in general but there are cases when that has happened.

In this state the Mother can put any name she wishes on the birth certificate. It would be quite difficult to have your name removed from the birth certificate. It would be almost impossible to have the baby's name removed from the birth certificate. You could be Joe Smith and she could be Jane Miller.

If a child is not yours according to Wisconsin law state do you have to pay child support?

Some states have time limitations on filing for paternity determination. So, if you previously acknowledged the child as yours, signed papers stating that you are the father, are on the birth certificate, and the time limit has passed, you lose the chance to chance to be removed. Therefore, you may still be 'legally' the parent, even if you are not biologically the parent. And therefore, you would be liable to pay child support.
