where do i go to get a fathers name off of my childrens birth certificate?

Answer 1

I don't think you can; but, lket me ask you a deeper question if you don't mind. Why would you want to and why do you think it would even be remotely ethical to?

That father is a part of them whether you want them to be or not. Even if you did get this accomplished if they EVER found out they would hate you probably for life.

Think long and hard before you do this. Even if he was a scumbag-- when they get old enough to fully understand then they have a legal and ethical right to know this. Well... ethical at least.

My life has always been shrouded by secret and mystery even to this day (I'm twenty-seven years old now.). There is still strife between my mother and me both for the secrets and lies. What you do now will have implications in the future. I implore you not to do this for various reasons. The choice is up to you. Short of having a clean up crew break into your local vital statistics office and erase all records of the birth father (which is HIGHLY illegal and I don't suggest anyone to do) I don't see how it could be feasibly done.

Answer 2

You cant do that! Your kids have a father and every right to know who he is when they get older if they want to.

They are not your certificates of birth, they are you childrens certificates of birth. They got the award, not you.

Answer 3

You usually can do this through your local vital statistics office. Since I don't know where you live, I can't give you the number. You can also call the hospital where the children were born, tell them there is an error and ask for the number, or call Social Security and ask them how to get it fixed. (Email me directly and I'll get you the info, regardless of state-can't help if you're out of the US though.)

Usually requires some forms, a signature, possibly a notarized statement for the reason and can lead to legal action depending on the reason. There are a few states that you have to DISprove paternity to have them removed..and that can get expensive.

Good luck.

Answer 4

You can't unfortuantly. The father has to sign off on it. So good luck. I've been trying for some time now. But I live in Michigan so check with your state. There rules might be different. Just call up to the court house and I'm sure they can point you in the right direction.

Answer 5

sorry to tell you that once its on you cant take it off.if you find a new man and can get permission from the birth father he can adopt the kids and his name will be on it but the birth fathers name will still be on it in case something happens to the kids and they need a part donated that will match.also its great to find a good dad for your kids and they will love you for it,but someday they deserve to know the truth about thier pasts .they will start to question one day how come they dont look like dad.good luck.

Answer 6

I do not think you can, unless he gives his parental rights away to you but the birth certificates are never altered. If he gives you his rights, you could have a judgment letter saying so, and he then is out of luck....

Answer 7

if he is the father than there is no legal way to do it. go to the people who make the birth certificates its usually your county registrar

Answer 8

it depends on what state you are in, but it's not that easy, I have been looking into it also. more than likely you are going to have to go to court to have it removed and you will have to prove that he is an unfit father. they won't let you remove it just bc you want to. if there is another man that wants to adopt your kids that makes it a little easier but you still have to go to court

hope everything works out

Answer 9

The social security office, however I do not think you can unless you can prove via DNA test he is not the father. Good luck.

Answer 10

You don't. The birth cerificate belongs to your children, not you.
