Legal Question in Family Law in Alabama

Re: childs birth cert.

YOU DON'T. That is because you have to file a petition for paternity, which means a paternity test will have to be administered. Then paternity can be declared after the test shows you are the Father and you can request the re-issue of a birth certificate. Plus....child support will be ordered along with visitation. If you do not have an attorney, I will be happy to talk with you. Please go to my web site and call me.

Re: child's birth cert.

You can hire an attorney to appear on your behalf, you might be able to make an appearance by telephone. Either way, you'll have to file a petition to establish paternity. You obviously don't have to come here to merely file a petition. You will have to attend the hearing, however, one way or another.
