Hi...

Oh what a terrible web we weavc!  Your son certianly has rights as a father, if he is the father.  First, he needs to prove that he is indeed the father.  Today, thanks modern medicine, a genetic paternity test will prove his is or is not the father without a doubt.  I believe the cost is a few hundred dollars.  There are all types of tests available on the web and your local phone book.

Hope this helps!

Hi, can anyone help us?  My son is 20 years old, college student.
Currently he is about to be a father in June.  The mother of the
child threatens to take the baby out of state, not put my son's name
on the birth certificate and basically not give him any rights
whatsoever.  My son wants to accept the responsibility of the baby
with support (both emotionally and financially).  Can you direct
us as to what steps to take to ensure the baby has both parents.
Marriage is not an option!  Unfortunately this was just a fling
and not an ongoing relationship.

Thank you.
