Myth!
Not necessarily! According to MSH Associate Brittany Gregorchik, who loves the practice of family law, “Signing as the father on the birth certificate does not make you a legal father if you were not married to the mother. If your child was born out of wedlock, you must sign the paternity affidavit, provide genetic testing results, or sign a waiver of paternity with the mother to make you the legal father.” Parental rights can be complicated, but you don’t have to go it alone. Team MSH can help guide you through this difficult time.
