    Default Biological Father Legal Rights

    I live in Virginia and have a 5 months old daughter. The biological father is not on the birth certificate and my daughter has my last name. We had a paternity test done and her father has papers proving he is the father. He now wants to be added to her birth certificate and have her last name changed to his. Can he take me to court and force me to change both?

    Default Re: Biological Father Legal Rights

    Yes he can be added to the birth certificate - unsure about the name. He can also ask for visitation and/or custody. You can and should be receiving child support.
