@Shantiba i was very confused… it just didn’t make sense to me. She was STRESSING that if we didn’t have his license he couldn’t sign and when I filled out the paperwork for social security card I put his last name for baby’s name and when i received it it had my last name on it.
That's crazy, I've never heard that
Where did you give birth? Why i feel like she changed your paperwork
@Shantiba piedmont rockdale. I said the same thing. it was an older black lady that was telling me this, but an older white lady took the paperwork from me.
You have a year to complete the paternity acknowledgement form to get the father added to the birth certificate and petition for name change. Read this webpage: https://dph.georgia.gov/ways-request-vital-record/paternity-acknowledgment
The form is the first one linked on there. I would complete it asap since January is in just a few weeks. I think you will have to go to court if not done before a year
Hey I just did this a few months ago. You need to call the vital records for your county and get an appointment for name change and go from there. It’s not that hard but it is a bit of waiting. We ended up having to pay bc they didn’t have an appointment until a week after the first bday
@Shani thank you! I went to looking and didn’t really know what to type lol
You’re welcome! Good luck
@Roxanne thank you!! did you have to a dna test or anything? i’m not worried, we know she’s his I just would like to know a little of what it’s like before we go in. I liked to be informed beforehand.
No we didn’t have to do anything but fill out a form and wait to be called back to the office. We only did the name change and paternity acknowledgement so legally my bf still doesn’t have rights, if we went further I think they might’ve asked for dna? I’m not sure
@Roxanne tysm!! I’ll be giving them a call on Monday.
Never had this problem, had all three of my kids here in Ga and not married
