What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? disbelief, evidently.
I DIDN'T SAY YOU SIGNED ANYTHING.
I said that it was one way paternity can be established.
You seem to think that the court employee needs to actually give you something before the hearing. This is not true. You were served - legally - and that's all that matters.
I didn't sign anything with the mother. I wasn't even aware of it for twenty plus years as happening. I never had a official of the courts personally give me anything prior to the ruling. Your comments don't make sense. I don't think you would be taking the same stand if it had happened to you.
I have now given you all the information. Here is a recap.
-Was not notified that was put on birth certificate as father for over two decades.
-Was never personally informed by the courts of the original hearing. (If was notified would have challenged paternity before too much time had passed.)
-I never had sexual relations with child's mother.
And I have no recourse?
