    Exclamation How Do You Correct Birth Certificate for Child and Parent

    My question involves paternity law for the State of: Maryland
    Recently, an DNA was done to establish paternity. How do file for an adjudication for paternity to currently delete the listed parent name on the birth certificate and specified the name to be added on? Also, currently delete last name given to child and add specified name to be added on? Are there forms you need to fill out to go along with the DNA results. If so, what are the forms?

    How old is the child?

    Was the DNA test court-ordered?

    Please explain the circumstances

    No, the court did not order the test. The child is now an adult; however, parent (DNA) and child (adult now) always been in the child life since birth and person listed on birth certificate never been there nor have information where to be found.

    Sorry - but the court isn't going to entertain a petition to challenge paternity now; that window has long since closed.

    There IS another option though - the biological father can adopt the adult child and go from there.
