Myth: If a father signs his name on the birth certificate he’s STUCK!
Fact of the matter: Not true: In 2012 a law was passed called “Fathers Rights”. This allows a father to use an accredited lab to prove he is or is not the father. If its proven that he is not related he can then not only remove his name from the birth certificate, but because of any bond that may have been created with the child, he could have continued visitation rights if the wrongfully accused fathers so chooses.
Without a doubt establishing paternity is a very important matter to resolve. The child deserves to have both names listed on his or her birth certificate and to be legally and emotionally supported by both parents.
