The answer to your question is yes. Under Wisconsin law, the name on the birth certificate has no legal effect. Paternity is established by either both of you signing a voluntary acknowledgment of paternity or by either of you filing a formal paternity case in court, where DNA testing is typically ordered. That is a definitive test that will prove who the biological father is.
