Re: ex husbands name removed from sons birth certificate
If the child was born during the marriage, then your husband is presumed to be the child's legal father. In order to have that changed, you will need to bring an action naming the actual father so that the Court can make a finding of paternity on that man's part and thus determine that your husband is not the child's father. The Court will not bastardize a child otherwise.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case. If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
