Yes, even if the fathers name is not on birth certificate she can go to the local Child Support Enforcement & open up a case against him. It helps if you know the SSN, last or current job & last or current place of residency. This will help them move faster in getting what is owed to your child. If you don't have all or some of the information it will take longer. Hope this helps.

No, you cannot remove his name from the birth certificate without going to court to prove he is not the father. Legally, he is the father and will be responsible for paying child support until the matter is resolved. He can have a DNA test done. He should request one through the court so he can stop paying child support if the child isn't his. It sounds as though you have been playing a game with him and also with your child. You may also have lied on official documents claiming him to be the father. Be fair and have a DNA test taken so you know who the real father is and don't lead this man to believe he is the father when he is not. Your child deserves to know his/her real father.

Unless you sue the real father, and make him cover the child support. Otherwise, yes, if it is on there you are legally the father.

Too many people involved. Leave the birth certificate as it is. Let the biological father continue to pay child support. If the current man marries you and wishes to adopt the child, then that is another matter. Seek legal advice before doing anything to change the birth certificate. No. This would be fraud unless the child is adopted by your boyfriend.


Can a mother bring his to child to other country without the consent of the father in which the father name is not mention in the child birth certificate?

Your spouse may adopt the child but the court will have to serve notice of that proceeding to the biological father.
