I have a question about the father's name on a birth certificate. My husband received a summons claiming he is the father of a 16 year. When we pulled the child in questions birth certificate it names another man as the father. His name has been on the birth certificate since the child was born as far as we can tell. I've been told in Tennessee if the man accepts the child as his and is on the birth certificate he is "presumed" the father. Is this true? Also, we've been told this other man would have to file paperwork within a certain time period (we were told 3 years) to have his name removed as "father" or he would be seen as the father. Any truth to this? And does anyone know where I might find answers to all this? Thanks!
