If you're in the US, no, she cannot just list him on the birth certificate without him being involved in the process (he normally has to sign a separate form acknowledging paternity)
Only the father can sign his name to the birth certificate, but he is able to do so regardless of whether they are married unless the mother is married to someone else. In that case the husband of the mother would have to be ruled out as the child's father before the biological father can sign.

If the father is not legally divorced from another woman does his name still go on the birth certificate?
If the mother is not married to anyone else there is no one else considered to be the more likely father, so the father's marital status does not bar him from claiming the child and signing the birth certificate if he is willing to do so.
How can your son insure his name on the birth certificate if the mother is married to another man?
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.
Can a father legally add his name to a birth certificate?
You can put another man's name on the certificate, however if you are trying to collect child support from this man he has the option to prove that it is not his biological child with a DNA test. He however only has a limited window to have a test done, failure to take the test and prove that he isn't the father by default means he accepts the charge of being the father paying child support.

What happens to child if woman is married but husband left 8 years ago and baby is 3 and dont know who the father is but has a man to sign birth certificate?
How could you have a 3 year old from a husband that left you 8 years ago? If the husband is not the father and there is no father listed on the birth certificate and if a man is willing to legally become the father of your child then you need to call your local county court talk to someone in the family law department to see how you would go about doing this, can you make an adjustment to the birth certificate, or would he have to get a DNA test to be able to do that? You might end up having him adopt her as his child, and then he would be listed on a new birth certificate. So call and ask to see what you need to do. Also you could call a few lawyers offices and ask around, they like to give some advise because they want clients. But the family law division will guide you in the right direction as to whether or not you can just make the change. If another man is listed on the birth certificate than that will be more complicated. God bless you and best wishes.

If a married man has an affair with a married woman and she gets pregnant who is responsible?
Both parties are responsible, they are adults new what they were getting into and need to take responsibility for their actions, The baby should be loved by both parties or just get an abortion as soon as u find out. Legally, in most states the woman's husband will be listed on the child's birth certificate as the father unless she can divorce him before the baby is born. Later, if she gets DNA testing to determine paternity, I suppose she could have an amended birth certificate issued, but that might get messy.

If father name is already on birth certificate does paternity test still need to be performed?
There is an old common law saying, "A wise child knows his father." We always know who the Mother of a child is, but a name on the birth certificate only means that man is now legally responsible for the child's support, whether he actually fathered the child or not. There is also a presumption, if a man is married to a woman, he is the father of any child from the marriage. So if you are unsure about who actually fathered the child, a paternity test needs to be performed. But just because the man named on the birth certificate may not have actually fathered the child, most courts will make him still legally responsible for the child's support.
