More details to this question:
Also the man that is on the agreement is not listed on the birth certificate and is not the biological father. Should the biological dad's name be on this agreement also or should this all be handled in court by a judge?

It is an agreement and only enforceable by one party filing a law suit against the other. If the agreement is turned into a court order, then signed by a judge, it is enforceable in an easier way, by going to motions court. Either party who does violates the court order can be found in contempt.
