Depends on state laws and what is in the custody order. In TN the non custodial parent can move where ever they wish but would likely want to address the visitation issue because of distance.

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you are trying to say. But child support records are private and to my knowledge it is across the board that only the mother, the father and the court has a...

You should seek the advice of an attorney but I don't believe there is anything that could force you to stay in the current state just because you are pregnant. I believe that would be considered a...

That didn't quite seem fair so I looked it up. See an attorney concerning the matter because there are special conditions.

Please see Court Forms for Self-Represented Litigants

Specifically -...

Oh my gosh I try to end the whole thing yet it continues. No that is the ONLY reason for establishing paternity for an adult right now TN restricts the rights to after the father's death. He has no...

It was a question for personal knowledge only, not current options. Yes you are correct, medical history and inheritance rights. There is no recourse for simple paternity alone in TN.

I only added the name addition to my birth certificate now since I am having to hire an attorney, that wasn't on the table before.

Yes I agree with you, I didn't see it as honoring him. It would be nice to leave my ancestors with a name for them. I do genealogy and I know how frustrating and disappointing it can be when you...

Every child has a right to know who their father is. How is this to embarrass him? It's not like he's a public figure or anything. Not like I'm screaming it from roof tops (trust me, that's the...

Only the OP knows & the whole story isn't being told, it's coming out little by little. Sounds like from the original post this was what the mother wanted since she made the effort to point out the...

Then that is a completely different story all together. It sounds like now the biological father has now been proved and shown to be the legal father of the child through court proceedings, which...

True. I've thought about this from every angle for 14 years and have come up empty handed every time aside from court action and fighting to change the statute of limitations in the state (which I...

You are completely right Cali and I stand corrected.
Under Washington State Statutes (RCW26.26.166,sections 1. a,I, iii) he would have only been the presumed father of the child due to being born...

OK, consult an attorney in regards to the matter ASAP to void charges in back support. Like Fr_Chuck stated, the courts could go several ways with this issue. If the order was not voided in the...

Not sure exactly what the question is but stepparents have no rights. If you were married to the mother at the birth then you would have been able to place your name on the birth certificate as the...

What a mess that sounds. Ok let's see if I understand this correctly...
Your son was born out of wedlock and you thereafter legitimized him and that action resulted in a court order for child...

Hum... yeah I see what you are saying. Only problem with a nondisclosure I would think that would also prevent me from legitimizing myself on my birth certificate since I would have to provide the...

You cannot completely remove the right of the father to see his children (some states may allow this in certain cases though) and don't understand why you would want to do such a thing anyway. I...

If you completed a home test, which is what you just described, it will not be admissible in a court of law no matter what.

Yes I actually have thought about that. Virginia has no statute of limitations on the offense in which he is guilty of – Carnal knowledge of a child between thirteen and fifteen years of age. But I...

Thank you Cali

Fr_Chuck, you are assuming I want this information to acquire back child support but I said absolutely nothing about pursuing a case to acquire back child support, I am not the...

If he refuses to sign the name change papers I don't believe there is anything that you can do. Could be wrong, states have different laws, I have a friend from Florida whose mother changed his last...

Does anyone know of where I can find laws from way back in 1977 pertaining to establishing paternity in the state of Virginia at that time then through the years up to 1994? What I am specifically...

I certainly get your point about the post being bumped to the front and I did not intend or think about that happening when I did. I simply wanted to add additional information because the site had...

Actually the only "special rules" that apply to the piece of law is that a child can sue for paternity after the father is deceased, in probate, (which is added into the statute that I posted) BUT......

As long as there was no disaster that destroyed the records or otherwise lost, they will be there forever. The type of record would depend on if you can access them. Most are public record though.

Actually TN does have a statute of limitations in regards to this issue. The statue states
36-2-306. Statute of limitations

(a) An action to establish the parentage of a child may be...
