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. Please help I have no father on the birth certificate and want to add her father . What do I do? I just want to add her father to the birth certificate. I tried to amend it and they said I could not so what do I need to do?

Since your still married its most likely going to end up that the legal father will be your husband.
That is why they wouldn't put anyone else's name on there. Have you asked for child support?

I got the devorce finalized right after my daughter was born. I then went to have the birth cerftificate ammened but they still would not let me put my daughters father on the birth certificate and I do not know what to do to get her father on the birth certificate. As it stands right now there is no one on the birth certificate but me(her mother). I want her father on it for numerous reasons.

1. Your ex-husband IS presumed father.
2. They are right.
3. Hire an attorney and file in court for paternity determination.

Where do you live (general area)? Laws vary by location.

Orlando Florida. I would hire a lawyer but I do not have the money for that. I barely make it with four kids. I just need to know what I myself and my daughters real father can do to get him on her birth certificate. God forbid something happens to me then my youngest daughter will go to the state till this gets sorted out and we do not want that. I just need help to know what steps to take to get her biological father put on her birth certificate.

We told what you need to do. Try a local law school. Very often they have clinics staffed by students that can help. But if the agency that is in charge of birth certificates told you you can't amend it just by filling in a form, then you need to go to court to establish paternity.

I don't know that you need a BC.

Do you need explanations why 742.10 Establishment of paternity for children born out of wedlock. Is not relevant to this case?


§ 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.");
