Determining Paternity Issues

[TNine]

If you were put on the birth certificate then you were either married to the mother OR you signed the AOP. Or the court declared you father by default.

And how is that legal if never notified in the beginning?

Your saying it can not be fought because someone didn't know it was occurring in the first place? The mother could have given a old address on purpose knowing that court documents would never arrive.

Is there nothing that can be done?

So they are allowed to assume that someone is guilty just because they had the wrong address and the party was never actually notified?

Paternity never determined.
Never receiving a summons or subpoena.

How is that legal?

Slowly:
PATERNITY was determined by default. You didn't show after you were served residentially. Your roommate should have refused service due to you not living there. They did not. it is legal because it follows the rules of procedure. Okay? Blame your old roommate for not telling you. Blame yourself for having sex with someone with whom you were not married and apparently with whom you were not involved seriously.

Your state made it legal.

Find the actual biological father if that is not you. Have him petition to become father. But quite frankly, YOU are legally the child's father. Get involved with your child's life and step up and become a full grown adult man.

The resident should have refused to sign for the summons.

Actually, it has been determined.

How has it been determined?

Was never notified about it until after the fact and as far as I know it may not even be true since it was only determined because the mother put a name on the birth certificate to begin with. If someone puts a celebrity name on a birth certificate that wouldn't automatically make them the child's parent.

Legally you were notified. And yes, paternity has been established.

File for a visitation/custody order?

In an unwed situation the ONLY way the father can appear on the birth certificate is either signing the paternity papers, or it being a default.

You keep asking the same question.

 

[Proserpina]

Do we know how old the child is yet?

 

[TNine]

The resident should have refused to sign for the summons.

Obviously but who knows why they didn't. They could have been consorting with the mother. Not on good terms anymore. etc...

I still don't understand how they way the courts handle this from the beginning could be considered legal.

Question still remains. How does all this get fixed? Doesn't innocent until proven guilty apply to this? wasn't even given the opportunity to defend against the allegations.

Twenty three now. The issue is also present that notification was not done at the time of the ruling or for several years afterwards which I think is questionable in itself. How does all this happen without one of the parties being notified?

Yes you were. YOU were properly served at your former residence. Innocent until proven guilty applies ONLY to criminal proceedings. This is not a criminal proceeding. You were properly served per the rules of procedure. Apparently, you shouldn't have had sex and disappeared. You should have been more responsible. As I said on another thread, every time you have sex, you are gambling on forever. If you don't want to be in a forever situation, DO NOT HAVE SEX. The moment you did is the moment you decided you were okay with being a father. Congratulations. Pass out cigars and man up.

Well you can also ask your offspring to do a paternity test now. Contact the following:

There you go. Maybe that will make you feel better. Apparently though you didn't want to be a responsible adult or a parent to this child who is now an adult.
