What's the process for adding a name to a birth certificate years after the child is born?
The parents must go the county health dept. or who ever handles the birth cert. If a name is being removed or replaced, you must have the consent of the parent being removed or replaced. If a name is being added, you must have the consent of the person being added and the mother. If the child is an adult, you must have his/her consent as well. If any of what I said is contested in any way, you will need a lawyer. Check with a lawyer. Your local laws may give you other options or take some away.
Here in Florida we have a form called a DH432 form which allows both parents to go in front of a notary public and have the father acknowledge paternity. This is a very serious decision for a guy to make because its virtually irreversible. I think if you contact your local child support agency they would be able to assist you with some answers. I know that in our office two parents can walk in and we will do this for them for free.
I need help! I had a baby girl in February. I had been separated from my husband for 2 years and in the process of devorce. After my duaghter was born I finally got the devorce. The baby is not my ex husbands it is my fiencees but they would not let me put the biolagical father on the birth certificate.

I have to repeat myself:
1. Your ex-husband IS presumed father.
2. They are right.
3. Hire an attorney and file in court for paternity determination.
382.013(2)(a), Fla. Stat. (1999)("If the mother is married at the time of birth, the name of the husband shall be entered on the birth certificate as the father of the child, unless paternity has been determined otherwise by a court of competent jurisdiction.");
You have to go through the court system.Quote:

Yeah see "separated" even "legally separated" (by that I mean even if you have filed with the courts for separation or even filed for divorce but the divorce is not final) does not make you DIVORCED. By the eyes of the law and everyone else by you... you were still married when your child was conceived. So basically the hospital, family courts naturally assume the husband is the father's child, since by law you should not have been even dating much less sleeping with another man. You many never be able to amend that birth certificate... and if the ex-husband is on the birth certificate then without him authorizing you to remove him... YOU CAN'T!Quote:

You need to A) tread very carefully with this issue or it will have dire consequences for you B) speak to a Family Attorney C) FIRST SPEAK WITH A CRIMINAL ATTORNEY, in some states they will let you amend the birth certificate so that your purger yourself of a crime. Oh one other thing, depending on the state you are in if the ex-husband contests this... you will lose custody of that child. See if he is on that birth certificate... he IS in the eyes of the law the father until he is removed. Quite a pickle you got yourself into...
Sorry, ignore the parts in my answer about him being on the birth certificate, I had forgot you mentioned in your post there was no father on the birth certificate. However the rest of my answer is accurate. You need an attorney, or may not I just noticed your post is from 2010... I hope all turned out well for you.
Oh really? No, I don't believe adultery is considered a crime in most states.Quote:
