AND HE MADE IT SEEM WE WERE IN COURT ALL ALONG TILL FINALLY i CAUGHT UP TO IT WILL THAT CHANGE ANYHTING ON THE JURISDICTION OR HAVING TO FILED FIRST? AND IF IT DOES WHAT CAN i DO i NEED HELP?

If he is determined to be the father by a court's order, the birth certificate can be corrected pursuant to the court's order. A court can make a custody determination in accord with what it determines to be the best interest. If you feel something was filed in the wrong county, get a lawyer and try to obtain a change of venue to the proper county.
