just so may things wrong here. Things that simply cannot happen as described because the system does not work like it suggests.
1. the STATE puts the names on the birth certificate. They do that AFTER the folks at the hospital or the parents at a later time file the appropriate document with the information for the birth certificate to be recorded. Ya see, there is no birth certificate until all that info is sent to the state. Then the state makes a birth certificate and then the parents can obtain one.
The registrar collects information from various sources. It is compiled and presented to the mother to verify and sign.
The only way the man named on the birth certificate could have been put on there without an affidavit of paternity also filed would be you would have indicated the man with you was your husband and the father of the child.
2. a childs last name is not determined by who the father is. The last name, if the mother is not married, is determined by the mother. It's as simple as; she gets to put whatever name she chooses to give the child. If the parents claim to be married (and the hospital registrar is not going to verify this) then the parents will have to agree on a last name. Especially since the last names of the claimed parents were different, the registrar is going to ask specifically what you choose as a last name, unless of course you registered under your boyfriends last name. Then they might have filled in the last name to match the both of yours.
not even close to being true. The named father IS the father until a court determines otherwise and Tennessee has no idea what happened outside of Tennessee that may have affected who is named as the father on the BC. So, the guy named on the BC IS the father as far as Tennessee is concerned. They are not going to dispute an official record from another state.The state of Tennessee where we have lived for almost four years cannot even pursue child support from him due to the fact that I was legally married to another man at the time of her birth.
Oh, but wait:
so claiming he put it there while you were asleep was not true? or if true, you still admit you knew about it so you were complicit in the deception.I intended to put "Mother Refuses Information" in the "Father" space on her certificate, but my now ex-boyfriend put his name on the form and told me that it was legitimate. I had no reason to disbelieve him at the time.
so, either you also put on the forms you were married to the man named as the father or there would have also needed to be an acknowledgement of paternity.
Then, since you failed to take any action to correct the deception so far, you pretty much locked that in.
In addition, since the named man IS the bio father, there isn't a thing you could do to remove him since if it came down to a challenge, he would be proved to be the father. In Florida, the husband of a woman is the presumptive father BUT that is rebuttable. It is not absolute.
Now that you don't want the father to be the father, well, it isn't going to happen.
