Question

How can a father sign a birth certificate after the birth of the child and can the child have the father's last name even if he doesn't sign the birth certificate



Answer

You have to file a petition with the court to enforce your parental rights. Contact my office for free consultation.



Answer

The father can file for paternity with the court in order to have rights to see the child. However, as to the name, this is really up to the mother. I don't see the court forcing her to add the father's name to the child especially if the parents are not married.
