For fathers not named on the birth certificate, they can seek legal advice if they believe themselves to be the biological father. If the mother is unwilling to put his name down on the certificate because she is unsure of the validity of his claims, a legal Paternity test can clear any doubt and help assist with the changing of the certificate. Even if he is proven to not be the father, the court can assess whether he has regular contact with the child and the quality of this contact, when they come to a decision regarding a change to the birth certificate.
