I am the biological father of a 16 year old girl and I just found out that her mother has her registered in high school using a birth certificate that has her step father listed as the father. I have been paying child support for 12 years and I have no doubt the girl is mine. I am listed as the father on the original, ceritified certificate filed with California (Riverside County) and the step father did not come on the scene until my daughter was almost 4. I would like to know if what my ex has done is legal. I never relinquished parental rights and I still pay full monthly support. She has been in trouble in the past for felony welfare fraud and I am wondering if she's trying to pull another fast one somehow. If what she has done is illegal what recourse do I have to pursue action against her?
