In Wisconsin once paternity has been established, the father's rights are the same as the mother's parental rights. Under Wisconsin law, the court orders custody and placement based on the best interest of the child. And a close relationship with both parents is often beneficial for the child.

That being said, the biological father should be the only person that is put on the birth certificate unless there is a finding by the appropriate court establishing the parental relationship on behalf of a person that is not the biological father.

A father in Wisconsin establishes paternity in one of four ways: A Voluntary Paternity Acknowledgement, An Acknowledgement of a Marital Child, A Court Ruling, or Genetic Testing. Only the parents can establish paternity, but someone who is necessarily linked to the case can file a petition to establish paternity.
