What is the name of your state? New York
My son is engaged to a girl that has a 10 year old daughter. There is no father listed on her birth certificate and she was married to another man (now her ex)(other than the Bio-father) at the time of her birth (her ex has had and still has visitation). Is this man legally her father?
My son wants to put his name on the birth certificate as her father and he is looking to get some sort of application to do this. I am afraid that this would be fraud.
Do they have to contact the bio-father (he doesn't know about the child) to inform him and get his permission to adopt her?
What is their recourse. BTW she was born in Suffolk County, NY but they now live in South Carolina.
