Thank you! My father is unavailable because he has been in prison since I was born, I do not think I even have a father on my birth certificate, as he was not at my birth and he has been in prison since my mother was impregnated with me.. I know who my father is but I do not 'know' him or his whereabouts or any family members on his side of the family. Does this still make me not qualify? If I qualify, do I still have to go to court or am I now (limited) emancipated by the notarial act? Thank you.
