Ok...here's a good one for someone to help with...
A friend of mine was pregnant but married a man who was not the biological father. Shortly after their wedding the she gave birth to a son and listed on the birth certificate the new husband, not the biological father. Keep in mind that this happened in Guam.
A short time later, while the new husband was deployed oversees they divorced, on their own via correspondence. In the divorce agreement they noted that "no minor children had been born before or during the marriage". At no point was the issue of the birth certifcate and need to amend it discussed or outlined. Today, the mother is encountering problems with issues which require both parents to consent, such as those related to travel/passports. Actually, when she applied for his passport she completed a declaration explaining the absence of the birth certificate father and it was accepted.
So my questions are these:
1) Does the divorce agreement where they noted no children overule the birth certificate?
2) Would this be enough documentation to amend the birth certificate? Would this happen in Guam or California where they live?
3) Does the divorce agreement need to address the issue of the birth certificate?
4) Is a copy of the divorce agreement enough legal documentation to allow the mother to consent to international travel for the child (when traveling alone with family friends)? Since the birth certificate would also be carried in travel wouldn't this cause confusion?
I appreciate any feedback/direction soemone could provide on this.
Thanks
