If it's established who the biological father is, regardless what name is on the birth certificate, he will have to give up his parental rights in order for someone else to adopt the child. He can also go to court and have the name on the birth certificate changed to his.
There are ways around this, but you need an attorney who specializes in adoption law.
He doesn't have to adopt the baby. He's already the legal father.
Your birth certificate.
how do I add my daughter's father name to the birth certificate? I live in New York.
Your spouse may adopt the child but the court will have to serve notice of that proceeding to the biological father.
When I had my daughter, her father was not able to be there at the time, so I was the only one to sign the birth certifiate as a parent. The father's name can be added by the father at a later date if that is what either of you wants to do. No one but the biological parents can sign a birth certificate.
He would have all of the rights that a biological father has. If he was not the biological father, then his name should not have been put on the birth certificate in the first place, unless he adopted her and the birth certificate was changed.
the birth father would have to surrender all parental rights. then apply for adoption.
Yes he can but if the kids father's name is on their birth certificate then you have to get permission from him. Even if he isn't active in their life he is still their father and it's something that you are required to do.
If the fathers name is not on the birth certificate but he has been named for child support you will never be able to without his concent. You do not have to be on the birth certificate if she went to the courts and named him as the father. the birth certificate is only good if she never filed for child support and he has never paid.
If your birth father allowed your step father to adopt you, you do not have rights to your birth father's estate where I am sitting; however, 10 feet behind me you do. See a lawyer.
