The bureau of vital statistics may allow the inclusion of a father's name on the birth certificate for a child born out of wedlock, but doing so does not grant the father any rights with the child and it imposes no financial obligations on him. Those matters must be addressed in a complaint for parentage of a complaint for custody, parent time and support.

Yes. Even if not married the father of the child can be placed on the birth certificate.

Depending on the state, yes. On the other hand, a naming of the father on the birth certificate unless it is acknowledged generally does not prove paternity.
