As long as he "IS" the father. They will want a DNA test done though since you didnt put his name on there.

I think that if you go through the process of filing for child support, then getting a DNA test he can request his name be added to the birth certificate.

Of course you can! How many deadbeats are out there who weren't even around when the baby was born to sign the birth certificate and still are responsible for child support? In the eyes of the law, all they care about is if the child is his-and if he doesn't protest the paternity, sometimes they don't even care about that. Good luck!

You can file child support they will just order a dna test. My best friend didn't put dad's name on birth cirt at first but after she went after support she had to change the birth cert. Remember when you start this process it gives the dad more rights, where right now he would have to go through a long process to have any rights.

Yes you can get child support, when my daughter was born I didn't put her father's name on her birth certificate, and the state still took him to court for child support. They added his name once he had started to pay child support so just go to your local child support office and apply, they will ask you his social security. work place address things like that just be honest and you should be all set Good Luck

Yes you can all you have to do is file for child support and they will require you guys to get a blood test if it comes back that the child is his then they will order a court date or either start pulling his wages. Go for it if he ain't gone do it on his own.

If at some time you need public assistance, they can insist you name a father before getting money unless they have changed their requirements. My kid's mother had to give my name and the state wanted to get me for a over 16 years arearages. But I had gone through probate court 15 years prior, and declared myself the father, and was paying directly to the mother. They don't let you do that anymore.

I don't see why not; he is still the father whether his name is on the certificate or not. Might have to get him to take a test though to prove it; but in court cases...I'm sure they go over all of that.

Nope, by not putting him on the birth certificate you have pretty much said that the father is "unknown". You can't go after "unknown" for child support and you can't go after someone who isn't indicated as being the father on the birth certificate.

I second what myboodysaid. You can the only thing is if they contest paternity then they will do a paternity test
