    Yes, it's a lie on a legal document BUT these cases are seldom, if ever, prosecuted UNLESS there was some illegal gain from the lie.

    So what is anyone asking your husband to do about the child? Pay support? Something else?

    He may not want to be the father. The last name is chosen by the mother - he has no choice in that. If it IS his child, depending on the State, yes, he could end up paying support - after a Court hearing (or battle).

    So - your husband has a child he has no intention of supporting?

    The information you provided has been very helpful... A friend of mine signed paperwork in the hospital not knowing what he was signing because he is somewhat illiterate... when the child was one or 2 he did ask the mother for a paternity test and she said no... He was never married to the mother and had onnly been with her about a month when she said she was pregnant... He has not seen or heard from the mother or the child since the child was 1 or 2... The child is now 13! He the past couple of months he received a child support notice and has been back and forth to court about 4 times... At the first hearing he informed the judge that he has no problem paying but that he would like a paternity test... The mother has not shown up at one court hearing... At the 3rd hearing the judge ordered him to begin paying child support until the issue became resolved... At the 4th and foinal hearing which he did have a lawyer for, the judge denied the paternity test, based on the fact that he signed the birth records in the hospital... And, as I stated earlier, the mother never showed up for one hearing... Is there anything at all that he can do to get this paternity test done??

    Why would you do this? If the "child" wants to change his last name, have him do a legal name change.

    I don't know why you want to change a birth certificate when a person is 30 WITHOUT DNA testing. In most places the husband is the legal father unless someone objects.

    What huge wrong? Putting the wrong man down on the birth certificate? Signing and file false papers?

    You need to see an Attorney. Were you - and he - aware that he isn't the father? No question that he's not the father. First you would DNA proof of who the father is.

    It depends on how far the bio father wants to go with this.

    I'd talk to an Attorney soon. Minimally you filed false Affidavits, and that's a felony in some States.

    EDIT: I just looked at the Georgia paperwork. Obviously DNA wasn't done when the papers were filed? And, yes, there are problems if that filing was fraudulent, same with the birth certificate. The father could claim you have kept him from the child for 3 years. I'd seek legal counsel.

    That isn't the problem - the problem is that it appears that you filed false Affidavits concerning the father.

    The biological father adores a child he's never seen?

    You need an Attorney to get through this - you have to attempt to reverse all the paperwork that has been filed in order to have him acknowledged as the father. You can't play "you're the father, you're not the father, you're not the father but sign the birth certificate."

    You and your husband have committed fraud and the bio father can get you criminally charged if that's his choice.

    You need to get legal advice.

    He apparently doesn't want the child to have your maiden name for her last name. He apparently wants to be legally recognized as her father. He has probably gone to an Attorney and knows his rights.

    I suggest that you do the same.

    I believe your husband does love your child - but legally that means little.

    Please stop typing in caps - it's the same as screaming at me, and I don't deserve it.

    Other than that - I have no idea what you just said or the point you are trying to make.

    Actually I'm a soon to be father and I'm in a similar position. I dated the shallow cheerleader type. She has never maintained a job, has never been able to support herself, and has never maintained long relationships. I decided that she needed to start stepping up to her responsibilities and we broke up because of it then we found out she was pregnant. I told her I would take care of the child but we shouldn't be together and she said she would find a new father that would do both. I'd rather take care of my child than put that responsibility in anyone else's hands but she says her way or the high way. Looks like I should be able to gain father rights then pursue custody for "best interest of the child" but we will find out soon. I live in GA

    Not all cheerleaders are shallow. One of the cheerleaders from my old high school just got her Medical Doctorate. Mine in particular just liked attention and dropped out of college to be a model

    So there's a bright cheerleader category? Some us also got into law school.

    No problem with modeling as long as there's a backup plan - and modeling jobs.
