Putting a father's name on the birth certificate does not make him legally the father if you are not married to him. You can put his name on the birth certificate, but realize that it has no legal impact. In order to have paternity established, it has to be done with a court order.
If the father wants custody rights, this would be usable in court.
Well,she can do that, but it depends on the standards, like if the you knew the father, or if the child will ever see his/her father. something like that. I watch a lot of court shows and I also read a book about it.
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 parent(s) can put anyone's name on the birth certificate. This statement is not true in the state of Kansas. My son had a child with a married woman who was separated from her husband. In the state of Kansas the husband is always considered the father of the child. In order to get the true parent's name on the birth certificate a divorce has to take place and then the real parent has to go to court to ask for his name to be put on the birth certificate. A divorce is not needed but the biological father has to provide proof via a DNA test and show the court and then his name can be put on the birth certificate.
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.
father
Yes he can. The birth certificate does not give him parental rights, only the court can when he presents the DNA result. But if the mother is in the picture it will be shared custody at the most unless she is unfit.
Yes, if paternity has been established by presumption (married to mother) acknowledgment, default (didn't show up for court or other appointment) or genetic testing, and an order for support has been entered.
what are the legal right for a father who as been court odered and proven of a DNA testing to the child
In the United States, fathers have no rights regarding unborn children. In Kentucky, a father won't have rights to a child unless he's on the birth certificate or until he establishes paternity in court.

If you were never married to the father then you have all the parental rights until the paternity of the father has been confirmed by DNA testing or by his signing the birth certificate. Once paternity has been established, you should petition the court for a child support order and a visitation schedule so that the father will be officially financially responsible for the support of the children and also care of the children. He could also petition for custody. You should consult with an attorney in your jurisdiction who can review your situation and explain your rights and options. If you cannot afford one then inquire at the local family court to see if there is a legal advocate who could help you.
You don't say which of the parents that are incarcerated but their rights to the child comes first. If the father is not in the birth certificate and he has not established paternity to the court so he can petition for visitation or custody and also pay child support, there is nothing that legally says he is the father. Then the maternal grandmother would have a better chance. If the father is not in the birth certificate but he has established paternity to the court so he can petition for visitation or custody and also pay child support, the chance should be equal.
Regardless of location the father is the father. So, yes.
Putting a father's name on the birth certificate does not make him legally the father if you are not married to him. You can put his name on the birth certificate, but realize that it has no legal impact. In order to have paternity established, it has to be done with a court order.
You can file a motion to bring you case to court. In the court hearing, the judge can rule for the father to have a paternity test done. Some courts will pay for the testing and have the father repay the court for the costs. DNA Diagnostics Center is a well known place that does paternity testing. Their results are credible in court.
