What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Arkansas
I am a happily married woman. My husband of the last 6 years had a vasectomy 16 1/2 years ago, after the birth of his twin son/daughter from a prior marriage. We have seriously looked into vasectomy reversal, only to learn that there was a very small chance that we could conceive. Recently, we asked a friend of ours (I've known him for 15 years) to consider being the father of the baby, my husband and I want.
Here in can be the problem: "John" wants to be named as the father on the birth certificate and be active in all parts of the baby's life. My husband and I have no problem with "John" being active in the baby's life, nor on the birth certificate, however---can this baby have two fathers listed on the certificate. "John" does not want to give up his paternal rights to the child. (to which my husband and I understand) I honestly want both my husband and my friend on the child's birth certificate. Also, for our insurance to pay, my husband's name should be on the certificate. "John" is willing to pay support or do whatever it takes to have his name put on the papers.
Thank you in advance for your time in answering and making suggestions into where we need to look for further answers
