Re: birth cert

No, you can't just have someone sign a birth certificate after the fact and declare himself the father. If your father has temporary guardianship over the child, either you agreed to it, or a court found that there was a reason for it. You need to sit down with a lawyer and explain your situation to see whether it is a good time for you to ask that the guardianship be terminated.

Good luck.
