Question

WOULD I HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE STATE IF I WANT THE FATHER OF MY CHILD TO SIGN THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE ?? ?

Answer 1

Assuming you’re not married and you live in the US... both you and Dad would have to sign a voluntary acknowledgment of paternity / declaration of paternity / whatever it’s called in your state.  It usually has to be either notarized or witnessed.  When the child is born, the hospital will be able to provide you with the form.  Both of you need to be aware that signing this makes him the legal father with all the rights and obligations that go along with that.

Answer 2
