Re: Birth Certificates
A recent case may allow you to obtain the birth certificate in this manner. However, I think you will have to file a lawsuit to get the certificate issued the way you wish.

Be very careful before you enter into such an arrangement.
While you are still loving and affectionate
domestic partners, you should commit to paper what you both believe should be done if and when you are no longer loving and affectionate domestic partners.
