If your husband is not the father and you have conclusive proof to rebut the presumption that your husband is not the father of the child born during your marriage the certificate should be reissued. If your affidavit and additional evidence is the only evidence presented you will prevail.

Thanks, Erin! Not to risk redundancy here, but I just need to be sure that I DO NOT have to track him down to have him sign some kind of pleading for consent or approval or acknowledgment. I do not, right???
Thanks again ~

If you can prove he is not the father his consent is not necessary for anything. Best of luck to you!

The AFFIDAVIT OF PARENTAGE states, in the MOTHER’S AFFIRMATION section, that, “If you were married to someone other than the above-named father at the time you became pregnant or when the child(ren) was born, you must provide additional evidence (e.g., affidavit from your husband or court order) that your husband is not the child(ren)'s father.”
I know that I will not be getting an affidavit from my estranged husband (who is NOT the child’s natural father, but is on the child’s birth cert. as the father) as I do not know where my STBX is. That being said, when a DNA test is provided to the court as “additional evidence”, thereby proving paternity, is there ANYTHING that my estranged husband can do to stop me from correcting the birth cert. by taking his name off, putting the natural father’s name on and changing the child’s surname to that of the natural father? Since there are no other signature areas in this affidavit, can I assume that there is nothing else that needs to be done, that it’s a “done deal” and that the STBX has NO FURTHER LEGAL claim or holding on the child?
