Does a woman have to name a father on the babies birth certificate by law?

Question

Does a woman have to name a father on the babies birth certificate by law?



Answer

No, a lot of them don't. It also has no legal effect on the father. To establish paternity requires the child to be born during a marriage, a DNA test, or the father acknowledging paternity on the Affidavit of Parentage form.
