Mostly happens in case the paternity is conflicted (mother not sure or decides to lie)
Forging legal documents of any kind isn't legal in anyway
There r enough provisions for step parents to formally gain rights adoption or otherwise
No need to give the wrong name on BC for that
That's sort of changing someone identity
The child here looses on child support nd inheritance for eg

This article does have some case studies too but none of them could be exactly similar to the show cause situations like these arising irl would be difficult
