Yes. If you file for child support, the father (if the two of you were not married when the child was born) will have to take a paternity test or sign a consent form agreeing that he is the father. I am not sure how other states work but that is correct for Florida. Believe me, I know, I am currently going through a custody/child support battle.

Yes he does. The mother can request a court-ordered paternity test. If the test is positive then the court will issue a child support order and the father can request a visitation order as well.

Only if you can prove birth through DNA testing. * Yes if the couple are married the husband is assumed to be the father and has custodial rights to a child until proven otherwise. If the couple are not married the mother retains sole custody to the child until parentage is proven through paternity testing (blood test or DNA). Once parentage has been established the court will allow the filing of custody and/or visitation and/or child support petitions to be filed.

I believe as long as the baby has his last name he should have to but even if not you can order him to get a DNA test and prove it is his if that's the case.... But if there is no name on the certificate then i don't think anything can be done....also i don't thing you can give the baby his name if he is not on there

If you are looking for governmental support you have to provide the father's information and he will have to help support the child.
