    How to Change a Child's Legal Father from Your Ex-Husband to the Biological Father
    My question involves paternity law for the State of: TEXAS

    My ten year old daughter's Texas birth certificate lists my ex-husband as her father. He is not the biological father which was proven by an unofficial DNA test ((taken at home, send away test)) and wants nothing to do with her. The biological father and I have agreed that we want him on her birth certificate. The issue that we've been running into is that before we established paternity, I was granted a divorce from my ex-husband and that decree has information regarding visitation and support to my daughter. Each party is willing to deny/waive and acknowledge paternity, I just can't seem to find the right way to go about having thsi taken care of.

    As aan added note, my ex-husband lives in California, the biological father lives in Virginia and myself and daughter live in Alabama, though she was born in Texas.

    Thanks in advance!

    Biological father would have to sue you and your ex-husband in Alabama to establish paternity. An unofficial DNA test means nothing in the grand scheme of things. Does your daughter know about all this?
