Name on birth certificate

[gumdropgirl]

Ok, I understand that as the father if I sign a birth certificate and acknowledgement of paternity in the eyes of the law I am, for all practical purposes, the father of the child, and child support can be collected from me regardless of biological paternity.

What about the other way around?

1. What if the mother has someone else sign the birth certificate of my child? Do I lose my rights? How do I prove that I am the father and get visitation?

Petition for paternity and the court will order a blood test, unless the time to challenge paternity in the jurisdiction has already run out.
