Father's name to Birth Certificate

[sometwo]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oh I think I'm in TN

I found out through a dna test (that followed chain of command etc) a couple years ago who my father was. There is no father listed on my birth certificate. I was born in Ohio. I wasn't worried about getting my father's name on my birth certificate since I was the one who wanted to know and I got my answers.

However the last week or so I've been thinking about it and when I die no one else may remember or know. I would like to have my father's name listed on it so that when my family tree is traced it will be known.

Since I'm an adult would this be easier to do now? I would need to do it in Ohio right?

I found this about the AOP
If a father has not been listed on a birth record, an Acknowledgement of Paternity Affidavit can be used until the child turns 23.

I'm 30 so I don't think that is going to help.

You will probably need an attorney and need to spend a good bit of money to get it changed.

Frankly, it seems like a waste to me. Do you REALLY think anyone is going to care after you're gone? Certainly the people close to you might care, but you can tell them without changing your birth certificate. Seems like a lot of effort for no real benefit.

I guess its more of wanting to fill in that blank.

If its going to cost an attorney and stuff I'm not going to do it. I'll just leave it the way it is. I already paid for the dna test.
