[QUOTE="Lil, post: 662432, member: 17309"] Okay...here's my take on it and keep in mind, I don't live in your state and your laws may differ. In MY state: Putting your name as father on the birth cert. is a legal finding of paternity. You are legally the father and can be ordered to pay child support by the state (administratively or thru court) with no other proof of paternity. Even if you KNOW you aren't the father. Even if you are different races from the child. Even if you met the mom and signed that affidavit when the kid was 17. The ONLY way to take your name off a birth certificate is to file an action in circuit court for declaration of NONpaternity. Most states have some statute of limitations so you can't do it when the kid has thought you were daddy for 18 years. I would strongly advise him to not sign any papers at the hospital. He can always do it later. Of course, he's 18 and will do what he wants. [/QUOTE]
