CAN I GET MY NAME PUT ON MY DAUGHTER'S BIRTH CERTIFICATE?

QUESTION: I had a 3 month relationship with a woman. I barely knew anything about her. I discovered that she lied that she was on birth control pills - she got pregnant. I got really angry with her and we broke up, but I kept in touch because of the baby. After she gave birth I have given her money monthly. She started making trouble because she wanted me to be back with her, lying to everyone that I got her pregnant and ran away. She kept going to my work and calling my work, making trouble until I was fired. She has since refused to let me see my child and refused to put my name on her birth certificate. She also refused a DNA test. Is it possible to force her by law to put my name on my daughter's birth certificate? If not, do I have to continue giving her money?

MY RESPONSE:

More is at stake than merely getting your name put on your daughter's birth certificate. If you believe that the child is yours, you should continue to contribute to her support.

Seek your remedy through the Court: File and pursue a Paternity case, and seek a DNA test, child custody and visitation rights in that case. You would best retain an experienced Family Law Attorney to represent you.
