Hi my ex gave birth to my daughter while I was staying with family in Florida. When she was pregnant she said she wasn't due tll sept so it couldn't be mine. I went to Florida and in June I found out that she had the baby and she told everyone that if I was notified about it then she would disown whoever told me but I was informed anyway but it wasn't until 11 days after my child was born when I found out that she had the baby. I drove back to Indiana from Florida to take a DNA test and it showed that the child is my daughter. Now since the results of the test I decided to move back to Indiana from Florida and we went to court and clarified that this child IS MINE. And support was estabelished. But now she's talking about moving back to pennslyvania and I can't find out if my name was put on the birth certificate after we went to court or not cause she says she might take my daughter and take off to PA and I don't want her to take my babygirl so far away from me when I just moved back home so I could be close to my daughter and see her I have to find out how to know if the court added me on the birth certificate as the father cause if they didn't I need to know how to get it done fast before she takes my child and runs. Anyone who can help me answer this question would be verry helpful cause I don't want to loose my babygirl.

First why would your name have been put on the birth certificate, you merely had a DNA test done to prove you were the father, this gives you rights as a father, and obligates you to pay child support, so unless you made a motion in court to change the birth certificate there is no change.

And adding you to the birth certificate does not give you any more or less rights than being proved the father.

To stop her from moving, what does the child custody order say, after you were proved to be the father, you would have gotten a child custody agreement that says when you can visit. And who has custody. After that you could have asked that it be added that she can not move out of state or over so many miles.

Ok the court established support. But did it establish custody and visitation? You need to get THOSE established (never mind the because at this time). With a visitation schedule in place, she can't move without court approval or be in contempt of court.
