List him on the birth certificate, it will help with your child support claim and usually the state will only require a paternity test if the father denies paternity but that depends on the state. You don't have to give the child his father's last name but it is difficult to amend a birth certificate in most states so if your circumstances with this man change....

It depends on what state you live in. I am in South Carolina, and here you can give the child any last name you like even with a father on the birth certificate. BUT if you are not married the man you name as the father has to agree to being the father. If he doesnt and you take him to court and the judge orders a dna test and he is found as the father you can request that his name be put on the birth certificate. You can usually call the hospital you plan on having the baby at and ask them to see what you need to do just to be sure. I hope this helps.

In the state of Texas you can only list a man's name on the birth certificate as the father if he is present at the time or if you are legally married at the time. Otherwise the blank will say "unknown" until he either signs for his name to be put on or a court orders such through a paternity hearing.
Second, in Texas when you are granted child support you must change the child's name to the father's. Not everyone listens to the court order but it can be enforced.

Yes... You can put down his name as the father of your child. You don't have to give your child his last name, you are not married. You will get a copy of the birth certificate, so will your county record office as well as the state record office. Once the DNA test come back, and it shows he is the father of your child. He will be order to pay support and half of the medical bills.
Also look for help form legal aid, most of the time it's free or low cost to you.

I think you can just put his name on the birth certificate as the father.... the State will decide the child support after the paternity is determined. As far as naming your baby.... it should be no problem giving the baby your last name.

I actually had the attorney general speak at a conference I attended and you could put "Daffy Duck" on the birth certificate. The legal binding doesn't begin unless the two of you are married..The attorney general will only make him take a paternity test if he request it. When handling cases they ask him if he believes the child is his and if he says yes, they continue with the process, if he says no and the results come back and she is his child HE has to pay for the test.

His mom had an prolonged style delivery certificate at one factor. President Obama talked about it in his e book desires From My Father. yet he talked about it even as he grow to be in severe college. He would or gained't have it anymore. It shouldn't fairly count number as both way the State is certifying that the guy on the style grow to be born in Hawaii on the date and time listed, to the folk named. The certificate of stay delivery is a shorter summary style that has replaced the longer style in Hawaii. children born after 2001 do not actually have an prolonged style with signatures on document -- the signatures are not being gathered and there is not any unique paper. it truly is all digital. Hawaii also stopped giving out copies of the lengthy style to those who requested for qualified delivery certificate in 2001. The shorter COLB is the in trouble-free words one Hawaii subject matters. maximum states have lengthy previous to the hot format simply by the undeniable fact that's critically more low-cost to manage digital archives. both codecs have an same criminal cost. In both circumstances, Hawaii says that the assistance on the style matches precisely what's in the unique delivery record.

it depends on laws in your state in IL if you are not married and the father is not present you can not put his name on the certificate for him....it says unknown...unfair I say but it protects the father...call the hospital that you deliver at they did the certificate stuff in the room for all 3 of my kids so they should be able to give you a answer that is 100% correct :) Congrats and Good Luck!!

I am not to sure how it works in your state . But when my childrens father signed the b.c. at the hospital he had to be there. He had to sign a few papers.
If the state is going to make him take a dna test I would wait intil that . Most men when you are no longer with them say it is not there kid. If you have the proff than he will have no reason to say that your child is not his.
