It depends on what state you are in. In some states you can get a pre-birth order, allowing the intended parent's names to be placed on the birth certificate. I other states, the surrogate mother and her husband's names on placed on the birth certificate, and later changed by a lawyer through the courts to the intended parents names.
The mother should put the actual fathers name 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.
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.
You do a DNA test to prove you are not the father. If she is not willing you get a court order for it. Then you can petition the court to remove it.
yes she can
In this state the Mother can put any name she wishes on the birth certificate. It would be quite difficult to have your name removed from the birth certificate. It would be almost impossible to have the baby's name removed from the birth certificate. You could be Joe Smith and she could be Jane Miller. She could put the name Albert Einstein on the birth certificate and that would be the baby's name.
The mother can sign her name, not the father's name.
back
In Illinois in 1971, the mother of the child could put anyone's name on the birth certificate as the father. In this connection, the critical document is the acknowledgment of paternity, which is now required to add a man's name to the birth certificate.
The father's name goes on the birth certificate only if he signs an acknowledgment of paternity.
The mother should put the actual fathers name on the birth certificate.
no
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.
