    Default How to Change Your Birth Certificate, as an Adult, to Reflect Actual Paternity

    My question involves paternity law for the State of: California

    I found out recently that my father wasn't actually my bio father. On my birth certificate it states my mothers husband at the time. I have found out since, that my sister and I are only half siblings (thru DNA test). When my mother saw the test results she told me the name of my real father. I have also done a DNA test on 23 and Me and connected with a 1st or 2nd cousin of my bio dads. Unfortunately, my biological father is now deceased. How can I get my birth certificate changed to show my biological father as my legal father?

    Unfortunately you cannot do so. The laws do not allow for it after that much time has passed.
