Questions

I need to get the father of my child's name on the birth certificate. What do I do?

You can file a Voluntary Paternity action with the Superior Court. Both parents have to be in agreement and Mom cannot have been married at the time she gave birth or during the 10 months proceeding the birth of her child. The forms are available at the Clerk's Office. You can pick up the forms, fill them out and file them at the front counter. The Deputy Clerk at the counter will sign the Order Establishing Paternity at the time of filing.
