My question involves paternity law for the State of: Michigan
My boyfriend and I are expecting a baby boy in Sept. We would like to name the baby after him, as he is the third, the baby will be the fourth. The problem arises here: I did not give the state the father's income information when I was filling out my paperwork for medicaid, and now I am concerned that the state will come after us for medical costs if I put him as the father on the birth certificate even though we are not married. We do live together, but we split the bills and he does not support me. Do I need to refile my medicaid application and give his information, or can he be put on the birth certificate without penalty? I know nothing about the law in this area, or in general for that matter, so any information on my situation would be greatly appreciated.
