Non-Biological Father Signed Birth Certificate - How to Remove His Name
My question involves paternity law for the State of: Washington
4 months ago my nephew was born. The mother of the child had her boyfriend sign the birth certificate and now the boyfriend and his parents are playing house w/the baby and have no intentions to remove his name. Recently they issued my parents with a restraining order and put the baby on it also. A paternity test was done online and came back as my brother being the father. I was told the boyfriend did a paternity test at the hospital and it was proven he is not the father. It seems they have all the power just because he signed the birth certificate.
Also, my 3 nieces are on a restraining order against the mother for domestic violence. My family doesn't know what to do and have little funds and the other party has endless funds. Please help guide us in the right direction and reunite us with our newest addition. We have only been able to see him 3 times in 4 months.

How did that happen?

That's correct. He is the legal father.

The only person with standing to challenge paternity is your brother.
He should speak with an attorney; he has two years in which he can challenge paternity.
As a side note, neither you nor you parents have any rights to the child - even if your brother successfully challenges paternity.

You should probably not assume things and know the whole story before you go asking for help. The reason there is a restraining order is because your brother didn't want to pay child support for his 3 kids and put a restraining order on me from my kids when he didn't see them for 5 months prior.
There was no paternity test done in the hospital and my 'boyfriend' is my sons dad. He loves him more than anything. It is not about blood its about love. Obviously you people are not looking out for the best interest of anyone besides yourselves. It really all comes down to you people being crazy and trying to interfere with me being a mother to my children. Good luck with that. I will fight till the end for my kids and you will all see that karma hits hard.

Well..isn't this interesting?
You should probably realize that this forum isn't like most. There is only a short period in which you can edit and/or delete posts....
...so what you've said here is likely here forever. It ain't going away.
Incidentally, you might find yourself in for a very nasty surprise. You may have committed paternity fraud. And even if you didn't, your son's BIOLOGICAL father still has time to get your boyfriend's paternity disestablished and establish paternity himself. Then he can file for joint custody and ample parenting time.
Yes, karma can be tough, can't it?

It seems like it's not just all about love, its also about money if you put a restraining order against the biological father for not paying support.I thought restraining orders were for when you were worried about your or your childrens safety. If its really all about love, then you would realize that the more people in your childrens life that love them, the better off they are...whether they love you and vice versa is irrelevant. After all, we are talking about the best interests of the children, not whats most convenient for you. Its funny that you say the fathers family is trying to interfere with you being a mother, but you think its perfectly okay to interfere in the fathers right to be a father by illegally putting your boyfriends name on the birth certificate. Children are not toys and YOU don't get to decide who gets to play with them or put them on a shelf out of the others kids reach when you are throwing a temper tantrum. If you seriously want to be the best mom your children can have, grow up, stop playing games, and realize your children have a right to a relationship with their "real" father...and will resent you one day if you prevent that. Then YOU will see how hard karma can hit.

Actually....it's not. If the biological father files his paternity suit within the legal timeframe, and is found to be the father....then it absolutely IS about blood...the blood of the person YOU chose to sleep with and create a child....and he CAN expect to be named as the father, to have the birth certificate amended to correctly reflect HIS name, and to receive, at a minimum, a standard visitation schedule (even if potentially after a period of supervised visitation).
