If a child is born to parents that are not married, that child is said to be illegitimate. In order for the father to obtain parental rights to the child, he must go through a legitimization process. The process varies by state.

Me and my ex girlfriend is not together can she take your daughter out of state without asking you or out of the country?

she should tell you not just because of law but to make it fair on you and your child if she wants to be with you your child can then pick as well if you have not been told then you should see if the law can do anything and then what your ex did was also very unfair and sorry that you 2 didn't get along i suppose it just happensAnswerIt depends on the state. In many states, the child is not yours unless you have legitimated (had a court declare you the father). This procedure would lay out custody and visitation rights, and would lay out when/how she can take the child out of the state and out of the country.Putting your name on a birth certificate is often not enough to give you any rights to the child at all. If that's the case, she is the child's only legal parent, and she can do whatever she wants. You should speak with a custody attorney in your state.


How did Daniel B get a BEMT license?

Daniel has been studing BEMT for over three years. In 2007 he had been recognized (not in public) as a licenced BEMT. However, he didn't get a legitimated licence because in order to do so he must be 18 years old or older. Daniel has been studing BEMT for over three years.

In Virginia does the paternal father and paternal mother have to be married for the paternal fathers name to be on the birth certificate when the child is born?

I am not a lawyer, but this is a direct qoute from Virginia Law concerning preparing birth certificates: 3. The names of the parents, except that if the mother of the child was not married to the father of the child at the time of birth, or during the 10 months preceding such birth, the name of the father shall not be entered on the delayed certificate unless the child has been adopted or legitimated, or parentage has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to Section 32.1-257 of the Code of Virginia, or both natural parents present a sworn acknowledgment of paternity. NOTE ligitimated means the parents subsiquently married and both agreed to acknowledge him as the father.
