Legal Question in Family Law in California
In California can an unwed mother list a man as the babies father without his consent on the birth certificate?
1 Answer from Attorneys
No. because the person on the birth ceritficate would need to sign a voluntary declaration of paternity. That is a judgment of paternity, so the father would need to be aware of what they were signing before they would allow that fathers name to be listed on the birth certificate.
For self represented individuals you can consult with the family law facilitator self help center at your local court house.
As always please consult a local attorney prior to taking legal action. Good luck. Also please check out my Santa Clara County Family Lawyer blog.
