The Gaurdian of my daughter wants to take my name off the birth certificate and put her own name! Can she do it without my consent? And what rights do I have as her birth mother?

A guardian can't change a birth certificate just because she wants to do so.

Only a judge can change a birth certificate. That would require the guardian to go to a judge and ask for a change on the birth certificate.

I can't answer your question without knowing more details. I'd have to see your legal documents. If you want a legal consultation I charge $2 per minute to sit down with you and meet with you in person. Call me at 713-847-6000 or email me at [email protected] You must have a copy of your legal paperwork with you.
