Does the father have to sign the birth certificate in the hospital?

I know that in the state of pennsylvania, the father must be present to sign the babies birth certificate in order for the baby to have the fathers last name.


Man signed birth certificate that's not the father there is a bio father and the child is not living with the mother which is unfit so does the bio father have full custody?

No, as he has no legal rights to the child even if he sign the certificate himself. You will need to file for custody. see links below.


What if the mother tells someone else they are the father and he is not but signs birth certificate can the bio-father pursue custody?

First, the "real" father must establish paternity - until/unless the court rules otherwise, the guy who signed the BC is the father.


Can the mother name anyone she wants as the birth father on the birth certificate?

Here in the Philippines, a mother can not just name any person as the father of her child in the Birth Certificate. They will look for a marriage contract as their reference when you named your child under his/her father's surname. Or if not married, they let the father fill up the Affidavit of Acknowledgement/Admission of Paternity at the back of the Birth Certificate.


How long does a father have to sign the birth certificate?

The mother must be of course. Yet, if the father can not be then no, or if you don't want the father to sign he does not have to. In Michigan when a child is born the mother fills out a form. The mother is asked if she is married and instructed based on her answer what information is needed. Paternity is established through court. If you are married or the father accepts paternity it is a legal matter. I'm still amazed at people stating the father signed the birth certificate. In Michigan there is no place on the certificate for any signature outside of the doctors.
