You don't have to be the real father to be on a child's birth certificate. You would just have to sign a paternity affadavit, in which you are assuming all legal responsibilities to that child. You would talk to the mother about adopting the child and go through that process--if you are married.
Yes, but it's paternity fraud which eventually will be a crime, perhaps this year starting with Tennessee.
Ask the appropriate court for an order stating that you are not the father.
But, if you are already paying child support, this may not be possible.
He might have to go to court to prove paternity and when proven the father they will let him sign it.
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.
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.
When I had my daughter, her father was not able to be there at the time, so I was the only one to sign the birth certifiate as a parent. The father's name can be added by the father at a later date if that is what either of you wants to do. No one but the biological parents can sign a birth certificate.
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 are not always list yet still have court ordered rights.
I think you could contact the Vital Statistics Office of your state and who can help you out with it.

Yes, if he is the one who fathered the child. Father's do not typically sign the birth certificate though, although he can be named on it.

The mother can sign her name, not the father's name.

Only the biological father can sign his name, if that is what you mean. If the child is adopted the adoptive father can change it and sign his. If the mother sign his name or another man's name, it is fraud. The mother must always be listed on the birth certificate.
No, he is the only one who can sign it and if he chooses not to that is it.
Only if you intend to acknowledge that you're her father.
