Legal Question in Family Law in North Carolina

Generally, when 'refused' is marked on a birth certificate it isn't so much that you 'refused' to list husband as father. It's that the hospital refused to list biological father as the father because the law requires that a biological father not be listed if you are married. Since you have divorced and now are married to the biological father, you don't need to go through the formality of a DNA test. If the biological father is willing to be listed on the birth certificate, you need the biological father is sign an affidavit of parentage and then petition to have a new birth certificate. Its a fairly simple process but the paperwork can get complicated so feel free to contact an attorney if you need help.
