Can a woman put a nonfather name on birth certificate???????
The way it works in Arizona is the mother can name anyone as the father and that person she names has to sign paternity. And they way it works for child support, if he signs paternity he is responsible unless you are proven to be the father by DNA. So if they try to go after you for child support after DNA proves you to be the father, then you can have your name put on the birth certificate.
Can a child have two birth certificates with different fathers name on it?
The only instance I know of for that to happen is an adoption. Our kids are adopted. When they were born, the initial birth certificate showed the names of the biological father and mother. My wife and held took guardianship of the babies as foster parents during the 7–8 month period when the bio parents could have changed their minds. When their adoptions were finalized, new birth certificates were issued showing my wife and me as parents. I think the initial birth certificates are locked up in some government office. We were not given copies. Thus, both kids have 2 birth certificates but only the latest is the legal one.
Do I have to put the father’s name on the birth certificate to get child support?
I'm not an expert in Texas law, but here are my thoughts:No. Legally, it shouldn't matter. The results of a paternity test, not the contents of a birth certificate, determine the identity of the father.Note that it shouldn't matter - in California, however, judges have been known to make some pretty mind boggling decisions. Get the wrong judge and…who the hell knows.Child support aside, I encourage you to reconsider whether excluding the fathers name from the birth certificate is the best thing to do for your (I'm assuming) unborn child. Parenthood and the identity of ones parents is a factual matter.Whether or not you wish the child had a different father (preferably one who wasn't an irresponsible, spiteful SOB), that's the child's father. This is a factual matter, not a matter of choice (at this point) and in my view, your child has the right to have him identified as his or her father.The identity of our parents is fundamental to understanding who we are and from where we came. Again, I strongly encourage you to seriously reconsider whether it's in your child's best interests to deny that to him or her.
If a child's birth certificate shows the husband's name at birth for 9 years and then it is proven that another man is the father, can the mother prevent the name change on the birth certificate? The child already identifies as the husband's name.
As with all vital records questions, location matters. Without that, any answer is guess work.So first let me address a change to the birth certificate changing the father’s name. In some states it is impossible without the mother’s consent to put a man’s name on a birth certificate as father when the woman was married to someone else, even if they can prove it with DNA. Other states will have different laws and regulation. In any case, it’s going to be difficult for the biological father to get the birth certificate changed without the mother’s consent. The usual affidavit of paternity requires the mother’s signature.The second part of the question, changing the child’s surname is an easier question in practice. In order to change a child’s name, a petition will have to be made to the family court or the court of probate (depending on the state) to change the name. The court will only allow the name change if the judge is convinced that the change is in the child’s best interest (paternity is not the criteria). Given the situation described in the question, I cannot conceive of a judge disrupting a child’s life in this way.
Child support to be paid if not on birth certificate...?
Did she say that out of spite? I don't think your boyfriend should risk it. He should have been officially notified but since he wasn't, he should go down to the court house and check it out. His ex could well have given them a wrong address hoping that he wouldn't show up and she could get a default ruling in her favor. And when he goes to that hearing in January (if there is one), tell your boyfriend to demand a dna paternity test to confirm that he actually is the father. As for time frame, she has up to 18 years after the birth of the child to go after child support. And if she doesn't do it but files for government benefits, the government will go after the money themselves. And the father's name doesn't have to be on the birth certificate either for the mother to file for child support. All that matters is a) a court order declaring paternity (possibly through default), b) voluntarily acknowledgment of paternity (don't let him do that), or c) a dna paternity test confirming fatherhood. Also, in some states, the mother can put a man's name on the birth certificate without the man's consent but in others, she needs his consent. You would have to check state law to know whether this is legal where you live. And your boyfriend has no right to refuse to take a dna paternity test. If he does, he may find himself declared to be the legal father anyway so it is best he find out the truth. If he was very lucky, the woman cheated on him and that child is someone else's and then he wouldn't have to pay child support. Your boyfriend also can't just say the kid isn't his unless he can prove it. Finally, the chance that your boyfriend will get custody of a child he has never even seen is zero. The only way he can get custody is if she was a crack-addicted hooker or if he can PROVE abuse or neglect. And just because you hear that the mother goes out and leaves the child home doesn't mean it is true. She could have a baby sitter that you know nothing about. And it doesn't matter that you and your boyfriend only want to pay if he gets custody. If that baby is your boyfriend's, he will have to pay or he will be punished by the courts. That could mean the loss of his driver's license or he could end up in jail. The choice is his. Good luck.
Can i sue my ex for faking my signature on childs birth certificate?
Probably not. Whether or not you were at the birth (not required, btw), the key question is ARE YOU the father of the child? If you are not, a dna paternity test will clear you and you can get your name off the birth certificate. IF you are the father, your name will be staying on the birth certificate and you will have to pay child support for the next 18 years. Even if you manage to have your name removed, IF you are the bio-dad, you still have to pay child support. As for your name being on the birth certificate, she may or may not have faked your signature....your problem is you have to prove it. And if the child is your's AND the signature is even remotely close to your signature, there is nothing you can do. Also, she may just have filled in the form and someone else in the hospital signed it....that is always possible. Remember, you first have to prove that your signature is forged AND THEN you have to prove WHO forged it....and that last bit is very, very difficult. At most, you can file a police report and they may investigate but they probably won't, if the child is your's. IF she is convicted (the chance of that is very small), then you could sue her in civil court. If you try to sue her without a criminal conviction, you will be laughed out of court. Lastly, if the child is your's, it won't matter much what the mother thinks about you being in the child's life. Hire a lawyer and go to court for the dna paternity test. Then once you are the legal daddy, you can go to court for visitation and set up child support. If the mother does not present the child for visitation as per the court document, your lawyer can go back to court to have her held in contempt of court....and she is going to have a hard time preventing visitation since somehow your name appears on the birth certificate so she can't say later that you are unfit.... If she never presents the child for visitation, you could seek custody. Good luck and God bless.

Is it a crime to put a man's name on a birth certificate when he is not the child's father, and he did not consent for his name to be put on the birth certificate?
Yes, but highly unlikely to be prosecuted unless she's silly enough to tell people she committed fraud.Back in the 80s the country I was living in was putting pressure on unwed mothers to name a father so that they could claim child support from them instead of relying on the state. The mother would sometimes name the richest guy in the village as the father so she'd get a better amount of child support.It would then be up to the guy to spend $1000 on a paternity test to prove that he wasn't the father. In the meantime, he'd still be paying child support, and child support isn't refundable under any circumstances (until that point, he is legally the father, with all that entails.)This is one of the legal loopholes where you can be made out of pocket by a significant amount for no fault of your own and no recourse to get it back.
How to keep the father off birth certificate?
I did it. When the registrar was asking me the parental information, she asked me the father's name and I said, "I'd like to keep that ommitted." She said okay. No harm, no foul. You are not obligated to list the parental information. She could legitimately not know who the father is. They can't fault her for that. With that said, if she wants to get child support from him, they will make him take a paternity test. THEN, he can fight to have the name on the BC, and then a custody battle could ensue if he is a big a jerk as you're saying. If she isn't worried about financial support in helping to raise her child, then there is no worries on this. The best thing to do, for Mom and Baby, is to keep a restraining order in play and/or a PFA (Protection From Abuse Order) and she needs to document any and all contact from him. If he knows that she's pregnant, she needs to do this for their safety. Men that crazy are even crazier when there's a child involved. I'm not trying to scare either of you. I just know first-hand what can happen. My daughter's father isn't on the BC. He wasn't abusive, but he has a serious drinking problem. She has my maiden name. He pays child support (sometimes) but has no custody of her at all. It's because I documented and had evidence when we went to court for that part. I have also worked at a battered-womens shelter, and have helped shelter participants in obtaining these orders. Good luck to you and your friend. I hope this info is useful.
