each state has own laws on this, some states say if not signed right away then a paternity test done first or just anyone could sign it. Check with your local clerk of courts, they could help you.
First of all, the parties to this fraud have created a complicated and serious situation with terrible consequences for the child. The question states that the mother's father signed the child's birth certificate. That has created a legal record that this child is the product of incest. If the grandfather did indeed sign the birth certificate as the child's father, the parties have committed a terrible violation against that child that will follow him forever.
It is illegal to provide false information on a birth certificate. You would need to check the laws in your jurisdiction to determine the penalties and they can be severe. In one jurisdiction any person who willfully and knowingly makes any false statement in a birth certificate can be fined up to ten thousand dollars or face imprisonment of five years, or both. The longer the fraud goes on the harsher the penalties. This situation must be addressed immediately and the parties should consult with an attorney to determine how it should be approached and how the birth record can be cleaned before it harms the child.
For the moment, the grandfather has parental rights until the fraud is addressed. However, all the mother needs to do is request a paternity test through the court to prove the fraud. She only needs to file a copy of the birth certificate with a petition to establish paternity through the local family court. The grandfather will be required to submit to a DNA test, by law. Since she is underage, the crime will go against the "grandfather". There may be other charges since it appears an adult took advantage of a minor by creating a fraudulent birth record for her child.
Only the biological father should sign the birth certificate. By falsifying an official document you would be knowingly and willingly committing fraud.
