My question involves paternity law for the State of: NC-Father, KY-Mother, Child sent to TX
Man on Birth Certificate is Not Biological Father
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My question involves paternity law for the State of: Pennsylvania.
I am involved in a really weird situation and am wondering what can be done to normalize things. My boyfriend "A" made a child with a woman, let's call her "Liar," before we were together. Liar informed A when she found out she was pregnant, and, even though they were not in a relationship, A acknowledged the unborn child to be his because he knew that they had had relations around the time of conception. Liar wasted no time in finding a boyfriend and was living with a man we will call "B" by the time she was 3 months pregnant. B knew that Liar was already pregnant and that the baby was not his; however, B signed the acknowledgement of paternity anyway when the baby was born. Now B is listed on the birth certificate and is acknowledged as the legal father. A and I would be fine with letting him fulfill his fatherly duties; however, whenever Liar does not have B by her side, she is running around telling everyone that A is the baby's father but does not do anything for her when it is actually B that forbids A from having contact with the Liar and the baby (which is legally his.)
Did Liar and B not commit fraud when they signed the AOP? Can they be held responsible for this? Is it possible for A to obtain legal rights to the baby? Will a paternity test be done and who has to pay for it?

Yes there was fraud but until a paternity test is done your BF is just a legal stranger
My Question:
I have this same problem. The father has proven paternity with DNA test. The mother put one of her EX husbands on the birth certificate, he did not legally adopted the child. This was all done so she could get child support from both men, either knew of the others involvement. Now the mother has lost custody of the child. She was sent to TX to live with the ex husband because he was on the birth certificate. The mother and grandmother lied in court about the involvement of the bio-father. They didn't want him knowing the mother had lost custody, so the mother would keep getting her child support. Both men have started talking, finding out what has been going on for years. If this is fraud can charged be brought against the mother. How can the bio-father get the birth certificate changed. How much trouble is the ex-husband in? Can charges be brought up on child services for sending the child to a person with no legal rights, not even letting the bio-father know. Thank you L
