you need to change who the legal father of the child is. Then you can amend the birth certificate to reflect the (new) legal father's name.
that's a small mistake? Sorry but that is a HUGE mistake and something you need to get taken care of. I am amazed you did not notice this on the birth certificate immediately. Due to the indication the child is female, that is how the child will legally be treated in the future unless you get that changed. That would mean your son would not be able to marry a woman (with the exception of the few states that allow homosexual marriages).Plus I recently realized that they made some small mistakes on the BC that is instead of male they put female,
was this a legal adjudication of who the legal father is? If so, that and an application to amend the BC should take care of the matter. Of course, since the BC is from DC the action must be undertaken in BC. The judge is correct that MD does not have the authority to amend the BC.1. Court ordered DNA test with the biological father in state of MD (of which I am a resident). The judge gave me a somewhat confusing order saying that the bio is indeed the bio dad but since my son was born in DC they do not have the authority to order them to amend the birth certificate.
names are irrelevant2. Legal name change. Again my son's last name now reflect his bio dad'a last name.
is that why the DNA test?3. Divorce. The papers state that we do not have any children together.
Other than it really bugs me they misspelled statute and wrote statue on a .gov website, it would appear calling that number would be your next step.There are several provisions in the District of Columbia statue whereby corrections, amendments and/ or changes may be made to birth and death certificates.
