On the form where it says "birth father" put the father's name. Why do you think more and more dad's are finding out that they are not father's of children these days. You can also mail the father an "acknowledgment of paternity" to jail, they have notaries in jail. He can sign it and return it to you.
The biological father has the legal right to be added to the child's birth certificate at any time, regardless of his circumstances. The only exception is if he has voluntarily given up his parental rights and the child has been legally adopted by another man.
yes it can when he gets out of jail he will have his kid
Certainly if he is not the parent with legal custody.
how do I add my daughter's father name to the birth certificate? I live in New York.
no you do not have to put the fathers name on the birth certificate. Unless you want to. my sons fathers name is not on his birth certificate. but i have been thinking about putting his name on there. because i don't want my son to see it when he grows up and ask me why his daddys name isn't on there.
No. The birth certificate should show the name of the natural father or the name should be left off the certificate. If you put a name on the certificate and you know that person not to be the father, then you have falsified a public record and in any country in the world, that is a crime.
I know that in the state of pennsylvania, the father must be present to sign the babies birth certificate in order for the baby to have the fathers last name.
No it doesnt need the fathers name unless the father is there
You don't say which of the parents that are incarcerated but their rights to the child comes first. If the father is not in the birth certificate and he has not established paternity to the court so he can petition for visitation or custody and also pay child support, there is nothing that legally says he is the father. Then the maternal grandmother would have a better chance. If the father is not in the birth certificate but he has established paternity to the court so he can petition for visitation or custody and also pay child support, the chance should be equal.
The father's name should be entered into the birth records.
If a father's name is on the birth certificate that does not make him a legal guardian, it makes him a father. The two are technically different. In this state a father can have guardianship without establishing it. A father can be forced to pay child support while a guardian can not.
Yes, if the father signs an acknowledgment of paternity.
answer is simple. GET A LAWYER
legally, no.
