In Pennsylvania, when a man signs a birth certificate, it does not automatically grant him parental rights. If the man is married to the child’s mother at the time of birth, he is typically presumed to be the legal father and has parental rights. However, if he is not married to the mother, he may need to establish paternity through court or other legal means to obtain those rights. It's important for unmarried fathers to take appropriate legal steps to ensure their parental rights are recognized.
