If a child's father is not listed on the birth certificate, does that mean the mother has full custody?
If a child's father is not listed on the birth certificate, does that mean the mother has full custody?
Yes. By presumption a mother has sole custody...
Or just till the bio father files for joint custody or visits
More and more the chain of responsibility is tightening. Now if you want a passport for the child then they will ask about the father. And as for the "other parents" permission. Also its in place to prevent kidnapping. Times are changing and responsible parties are having to come forth one way or another.
Im already aware of it. I was just pointing out some of the changes that are occurring in these times. Not being made legally the father and not being on the birth certificate means exactly that. You want the rights you will have to get them in court because as of now father unknown.
Question about the ORC 3109.042. I was always under the assumption that Federal (Department of State) trumps state (ORC) when its decision making times. Are we only talking about if there's no father on the birth certificate or are you also talking about a father on the birth certificate but not married to the mother, because when doing a passport, they have their own rules about if a father is listed whether married or not.
