    Default Whether Or Not To Be On The Birth Certificate

    My question involves paternity law for the State of: Illinois

    I signed paternity acknowledgment when I was 18 yrs old now I'm 31.
    I( moved to Chicago 2 years ago)
    I had a child with my ex girlfriend once she told me she was pregnant she hid from me I tried going over and she never wanted to see me. she moved out on her own per her parents and I got a call from her mom telling me the baby was born I immediately when to the hospital she wouldn't tell me where she lived so I kept in contact with her mom. to make a long story short

    1.after all this time she will not put my name on "my daughters" birth certificate

    2.I told her we'll go back to child support court so they can reevaluate our case (it will benefit her to get more money) and she refused.

    3. I looked her up on myspace and she said If I want anything for me to do it
    but she lived in the state of TX and the non-custodial parent has no rights just pay child support. I called the state of TX too many times and I get the same answer "only the custodial parent can add your name to the birth certificate"

    4. when I first moved up to chicago she did let my daughter come with to visit for a month and my daughter told my niece by marriage "I came up here to get what I can from him"




    PLEASE SOMEONE HELP

    So the child was born in Texas and lives in Texas, and when you said that this was an Illinois legal matter you in fact meant it was a Texas legal matter?

    What is it that you want? If you want visitation rights, or to compel certain acts (like changing the birth certificate), bring a custody action in Texas in the county where the child lives.

    I thought you fill in the state that you live am I wrong?
    I would like

    1. DNA to establish parentage now that I have 2 other kids they both look like me and my wife and with my daughter all you can see is her mother since birth she always told me that "she looks like her family enough said"

    2. Visitation

    I told her mom to give me all her info so I can place her on my medical insurance from work so she can get off of Texicare (Texes medical card) and she refused.

    I asked if she can come to chicago and visit and she said no.

    I pay child support don't I have any rights?

    You wrote: "My question involves paternity law for the State of: Illinois". What part of the prompt suggests entering the state where you live, rather than the state whose laws are relevant to your inquiry?

    You've acknowledged paternity, so you're the dad. If you wish to try to reopen the issue of paternity after thirteen years, I suggest hiring a lawyer to assist you. Beyond that, if you want visitation rights, or to compel certain acts (like changing the birth certificate), bring a custody action in Texas in the county where the child lives.
