Do You Have to Include Your Minor Child in Divorce Papers

My question involves a marriage and child custody case from the State of: Calfornia

My husband and I have been in a relationship for years thats been somewhat platonic. We are polyamourous and We are friends and live together. During the course of our marriage I had become involved with someone else. And my husband and I chose to stay married.

My partner and I have a child and he is on the birth certificate as the biological father. We all live together as a giant family and my child considers both males as dad.

Recently, my husband and I have decided to legally divorce.

I am wondering if I have to put my child on the divorce papers?

Yes, you must file the case as a divorce involving custody of a minor child, and you must include your child in the divorce pleadings.

Even if my husband is not legally the childs father and not on the birth certificate?

That's why the minor child needs to be mentioned in the divorce - to declare that your husband is legally not the child's father and that the child is not a product of the marriage.
