Re: Subject: Please advisee of parental rights

If the two of you agree that you are the father then an agreement can be prepared and filed with the other required documents. If you are the father, you have the right to have your name on the birth certificate. If she does not cooperate than you can always file a Paternity Action asking that the court find that you are the father. I would hope that you could work this out since you are living together. If not, you can file that action.
