If a man’s name appears on the child’s birth certificate, does that conclusively establish him as a child’s father?

No. He is presumed to be the child’s father but the presumption may be rebutted if genetic testing proves that he is not. Also, if the presumed father files a denial of paternity in conjunction with the filing by another person of an acknowledgment of paternity, that will destroy the presumption
