Help! How do I get my daughters father on her birth certificate?

Question

When I had my daughter, I was still married and the baby wasn't my husbands. (I left him, because he was abusive and I couldn't afford a divorce at the time... )

Anyway, I had my daughter and they wouldn't let me put the real father on her birth certificate. They said I had to put my husband's name or leave it blank. I left it blank.

Now that I am divorced from him and now I'm married to her father, how do I get his name on her birth certificate.

*She was born in Maine and now we live in Arizona.

Answer 1

Answer 3

through the courts.. he might have to adopt her.  a family law attorney would be your best bet.

Answer 4

Talk with the hospital where she was born. Get in touch with the vital statistics division. The birth record is there. Sign afadavids saying that the child is yours' [fathers signiture]. I don't think DNA is a factor, if the father knows the child is his.Apply for a new birth certificate with vital stat..  You might need blood test. Good Luck!
