It takes a court order to change who the listed father is on a birth certificate. That requires a paternity action, and you may not like the results, because the court may find that your husband is the father of this child, and not biological father, due to application of legal policies. You should consult in person with a knowledgeable family law attorney who has experience with California's quirky paternity laws.
