Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania
father/birth certificate
How do birth certificates work if not married to father of child. Does this mean I cannot place his name on the birth certificate since he will not be there even though I know without one doubt that he is the father.

Re: father/birth certificate
If the father doesn't consent to having his name on the birth certificate you can file for child support. When that happens the father can ask for a paternity test. If the test proves he is the father then his names on the certificate and the court order for support.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
