My question involves paternity law for the State of: Oregon
Mother and I do not have a very good relationship. The baby it due March 6th and she is refusing to put my name on the birth certificate. How do I using the court system to find out if I am the father, and in turn get my name on the birth certificate. How long does that process normally take? A baby shower is being thrown for me and people are asking me what I need. I have no idea how long it will be until I will have my son at my house, or even for a night. I don't want people to buy things I won't use because I won't have him with me. I'm just trying to figure out a timeline as far as parenting time/ custody works. I know forms have to be processes and so on. Could someone please help me sort through this mess.
