Can a father sign his child's birth certificate after fourteen years?
Yes he may. Age has nothing to do with paternity. If you are the child's biological father, you have the right to sign the child's birth certificate or an affidavit of parental acknowledgement.
If a biological father is not determined and the child is adopted by another man through the court can paternity be determined at 6 years of age and would the biological father have any rights left?
By Canadian Law if the mother of the child purposely did not contact the biological father and she married and her husband adopted the child and the biological father found out then yes, he can take you to court. If he can prove he's reliable, holds down a good job, is not into drugs and contributes to society then yes, he can have some rights. It will take a court of law and two lawyers to fight this one. The bottom line is ... "What is good for the child?"
What happens when the biological father is not on the birth certificate and has not seen the child in 3 years but now wants joint custody?
The father will need to furnish proof of paternity, most courts require that be done by DNA testing rather than blood typing. If the biological mother does not want to voluntarily submit to the testing she can be so ordered to do so by the court of jurisdiction. The court may request paternity established before a custody hearing convenes or it may be a part of the hearing itself, depending on state laws governing such issues.
When the biological father has sole custody and the mother has signed away her parental rights many years ago how does a biological father remove his name from his child's birth certificate?
he says i dont want your dam child
Can the court order a paternity test if the child is over 18?
The court can not order a paternity test after the child turns 18. The child is considered an adult at 18 years old.
Who is allowed to request paternity test on a child?
In most states the biological mother of the child, the husband of the biological mother because he is the presumptive father regardless of whether he was involved with conception or not, and any putative or possible fathers that the child may have whether married to the mother or not. It is important to discuss this issue with either a family law attorney or the agency responsible for child welfare, as there may be time limits on how long a person has to file a request to determine paternity. For example, in IL the mother may request that a potential father be tested at any time from birth to the child's 18th birthday, when the child can then make a request themselves; but a potential father only has 2 years from the date of birth to make a request, and only one year to sign the birth certificate if they did not do so at birth.
Do you have to pay child support if the mother has put father unknown on the birth certificate and denied the father to the ssa office and 11 years later rings them and tells them who the father is?
First, don't pay anything until paternity is established. If the child is still a minor, you will most likely have to pay current (ongoing) support. However, based on the facts you describe, you have a good argument that you should not have to pay retroactive support.
If an unmarried father signs a birth certificate does this give him parental rights?
An unmarried father must establish his paternity and arrange for a custody hearing if he wants custody. Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he must establish his paternity by signing the birth certificate at the time of birth (waiving DNA testing rights) which must be done with mother's consent. If he doesn't sign the birth certificate then he must seek another way to establish his paternity and that is done through a DNA test. A paternity test can be arranged through the court. Once paternity has been established the father can request visitations, joint custody, full custody or the court will set up a schedule of regular child support payments for the child if she is to remain in the custody of her mother. The court will schedule a hearing and issue an order that is in the best interest of the child.
Can you still receive child support from the alleged father if another person's name is on the birth certificate?
No, the father on the birth certificate is financially responsible unless proven that he's not the father by DNA. About 12 years ago in the state of NJ The court ordered me to pay child support to the biological father (Dna test showed I was not the biological father) The court called me the psychological father so in the courts opinion I was her father. And like the biological Mother he also drank it away.
What happens when a mother does not name the father on the birthcertificate when the child is born and the man she is with is told that he is the father of this child... Then 5 years later he is told?
the man she was living with was NOT the biological father, but he was under the assumption that he was and was supporting and raising the child as his own. what rights does he have
With the growing rates of reported Paternity Fraud involving children born in the last 20 plus years should mandatory paternity testing be done on all new births?
YES! Paternity fraud should be treated as a felony type crime! For the fraud perpetrated in child support cases just so the mother can get the man's money, this in itself should be enough to prove that she is a criminal and an unfit mother. Then there is the true biological father himself who may have no idea of the birth and would want to be a father to his child. And then there's the crime to the child. Every child should be able to know who their biological parents are, if for nothing else but the medical history. Sure there are going to be painful situations where a child is born,(by the mothers choice) due to rape. But if the father is located/jailed, whatever the DNA records should still be kept and used if needed in the future. And if the mother wouldn't want DNA testing done bedause she had an affair, well shame on her. Again she is not a worthy parent.
I in the process of getting a marriage certificate. I have not seen my real dad for years and would like to put my step-dad's name on the certificate. Is that possible in the UK?
If your present Birth Certificate has got your Biological father's name registered then this will cause complications in having that "FACT" removed.On the other hand,if his name was not on the Birth Certificate..then you may make an application with the Registrar of Births at your local registry office to have your step father's name put on your Birth certificate..however..it is unlikely that the Registrar will agree to this. Further, in the event your biological father decides to contest the paternity..this will cause complications for all.Also...what happens if your stepfather splits with you..and your mother re-marries?I think it makes no difference if your biological father's name remains on the Certificate..as he is your Biological father!Take Advice from a local lawyer or the CAB,However!
