What rights does a father have if not wed to mother and not on the birth certificate but the child carries your last name?
none
none, becasue you are not on the birth certificate you need to establish paternity first. if she doesn't ask for aide from the state or money from you the courts won't really make her establish paternity, without a court order you have no rights, who ever has custody of the child is the one with all the rights. She can keep you from seeing your child indefinitely and basically move out of state. You have to file an order to show just cause. you can do it by yourself with the self help section on the Superior Court's web site. Orange county has the best self help section. They give you packages with instructions on how to fill them out and all you pay is the filing fee which varies but is around $ 360.00. You ask the judge you want to establish paternity and be NICE because he doesn't have to rule to have it done if he doesn't want to. I just went through this with my fiance and becasue she didn't put his name on the birth certificate he didn't rule establish paternity because she was self sufficent. But when child support got the paper work we found out she was on aide the time before she got a really good job and they wanted their money back so now they are pursueing it and making her go take a blood test. it's all about the government getting paid back and if they aren't owed anything it's really heard to make her show who the father is if she doesn't want to.

Can a father give up rights if he signed the birth certificate?
It matters if the father is named on the certificate as the father. If so, then he has as much rights as the mother. But in a court of law you might find the mother has a little more. Only if the mother has a problem will the father get custody. The law see's the mother as the one who the child should live with.
What will happen if the mother doesn't want the father to have paternal rights?
In the UK, if you are married when your children are born, you both automatically have parental rights. If you are not married, then you have to apply for parental responsibility rights, if the mother does not want to share that with you. This can be done by court order. After 2003, if not married but father is written on the birth certificate, that is enough to have parental responsibility and all that that entails. Not sure how it is for you guys in the USA!
