If you sign birth certificate do you have to pay child support if later you are found to not be the father?
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.
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.
Can bio-mother add step father to birth certificate without notifying biological father and step father not adopted child?
no, changing the birth certificate requires adoption, and can only be done if the birth father's parental rights have been terminated.
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.
The parents of a child are unmarried and the father's name is not on the birth certificate. The mother gave the child her last name. Does she have to change it to her father's last name?
NO. In most states the father of the child must be present at the time of birth to sign the birth certificate as the father of the child. It could, in reality, be any man who would be willing to take legal responsibility for the unborn child. A child will only automatically get the father's name if the two parents are married. Even if the father pays child support, the mother is not obigated to change the child's last name to that of the father.
Who is the legal father of your child the man you are married to or the man on the birth certificate?

Can an unwed father sign a birth certificate if the mother was married when the child is born?

Im not divorced and your ex husband is not the father of the child whos name can go on the birth certificate?
The name of the actual father of the child should go on the birth certificate. If you are not legally divorced, then your legal husband would be automatically considered to be the child's father by law. If the child has a different father, he can complete a voluntary acknowledgement of the paternity of a child, in which he signs that he is the child's father and is therefore put on the birth certificate and named as the legal father. The hospital will help with this after the baby is born.
What happens if a step father is listed on birth certificate?
Generally, the man on the birth certificate is the child's legal father, unless/until proven otherwise.
Can you get the father of your child for child support even though your husband signed the birth certificate?
Unlikely. Your husband is the legal father of the child.

Does the father's name have to be on the birth certificate for the mother to collect child support?
The father can file for this change.
Can a person get in trouble with the law if a person is on a child s birth certificate who is not the father?
Not necessarily. A person that is on a birth certificate, but is not really the child's father, is just taking responsibility for them. They can't really get into any trouble, legally.
Will the father of a new baby have to pay child support if he signs the birth certificate?
Yes and he still have to pay whether he signs the birth certificate or not.

no, changing the birth certificate requires adoption, and can only be done if the birth father's parental rights have been terminated.
Does the mother never married have to allow the father to sign the birth certificate if he wants it to add to his deers to get more money for him?
Well first of all the father doesn't sign a birth certificate he signs an acknowledgement of paternity with the unmarried mother and two witnesses to declare that he is the father. This legal document will allow the birth registrar to put his name on the birth certificate as the father. As long as the mother signs the acknowledgement then it will be legallly binding just as if they had went to court. If she chooses not to sign then the document will not be complete and on the child's birth certificate the father's name will remain blank. (Please remember it is very important to acknowledge paternity for the child's sake. It is very disappointing when a child looks at their birth certificate and does not see a father's name. Also the child will have the rights to certain medical information/hystory from their father in the event that child has a medical condition as well as the right to child support.)
