Birth Certificate

[mak0395]

What is the name of your state? Ohio

My Granddaughter was born on March 5th. My son, who is not married to his daughter's mother, has been trying to obtain a copy of the birth certificate. He has been told that the hospital is 4 months behind on filling these out. A paternity test was done when the baby was 4 weeks old and the results are in but Children Services needs a copy of the birth certificate prior to releasing the results. My son cannot establish any visitation rights or child support until this issue is resolved. Any ideas on who my son can contact and be heard about this issue. Once the results are released it could still take months to get the visitation set.

has he tried the county register of deeds office or dept of vital statistics?

hospitals don't issue birth certificates they only supply information, the city or county does.

We mailed the form along with the check on May 3rd. We went down to the office of vital statistics yesterday and spoke with someone. They stated that the hospital in question is the worst when it comes to supplying them with the information. We then contacted the hospital and they told us they are about 4 months behind on paperwork. They could care less that this is holding up visitations for my son and his daughter.

I know that it is frustrating, but if your son is going through a child support and visitation case, frustration over timeliness will become a constant companion! Keep calling the hospital, over and over and over, maybe someone will get tired of telling you no.

What a huge and absolute TRUTH you've told there!!! Case =

Thank you all for your help. He knows the rough road ahead of him, he knows what his responsibilities are and will be for the next 18 years and beyond. He just misses his daughter. The mother and baby were living with us for the past 7 weeks but have recently moved out and it's just an adjustment for him not knowing the next time he will see her.

Is mom not agreeable to making some kind of unofficial visitation possible?? Sounds like you have been there for her, perhaps they can come to an agreement without the court for now.

 

[mak0395]

No she is not being reasonable at this time, and yes we have been there for her during the pregnancy and since the birth. She is making terrible demands on my son in order for him to see his daughter and of course he is going along with everything just so he can see her. Example-Friday night she wanted a plant that she left at our home and if he didn't take it to her (at 10:00 p.m.) she wasn't going to allow him to see their daughter on Father's Day. We are just writing everything down and doing a lot of research on the internet, like I said earlier he wants to be in his daughters life and he will do anything and everything he can at this point in order to make Mommy happy.

Is there no other way they will release the results to him? Not even with an ID?

Perhaps proof that the bc is going to take 4 months & a letter from an atty would help?

BTW- its always a very good thing to document when you have one parent being VERY unreasonable like it sounds Mom is being.

even if he gets the results, he is still MONTHS away from court ordered visitation, if he is lucky that is!

The way you throw the word " we " around tells quite a story. Perhaps the baby's mother got fed up with you acting like you were parenting HER child by committee. Your son needs to be the one dealing with this situation. This is between your son and the child's mother. You need to butt out.

The poster sounds like she is just trying to be supportive of her son, and the mother of the child. Maybe you need to butt out, instead of trying to criticize the poster for caring about her son and grandchild

anyone? is this kelly?

I only saw one real "we"- so I don't think the rancor was necessary

where is your legal advice?? "we" don't need this kind of imput, "we" don't like you antagonizing a poster who up till now has acted in a polite and perfectly proper way. "we" want you to go away. wee wee wee all the way home
