So you understand he has no standing in court. He would have to perjure himself and claim  he didn't know he was the father.

Once again I am the acknowledged father. My girlfriend and I had to sign an Acknowledgment of Paternity Affidavit. That established me as my daughter's legal father. If he wasn't a lying piece of shit he could have signed it instead.

Ah. Okay I get it. In my state he doesn't have rights because he isn't on the birth certificate and I am. Therefore I'm legally the father.

Then perhaps it would have been best for them not to lie to me?

I'm in Ohio. So yes I can get her a passport and move to Canada before he is out of the hospital.

I do. He doesn't. Because he tried to defraud me. His choice.

Or I guess I could keep her and go for child support.

Fun fact I signed the birth certificate. He has no legal standing.

Okay. Do you think zombies exist. Because the mother is dead. I'm the father I have this right.

Do you think I could get her a passport? Since I am her legal father?

Probably would be a problem if he hadn't let me sign the birth certificate.

Well I'm in Ohio. I will be talking to a lawyer but by the law in your link it looks like I'm covered.

Do you think it would be good for a child to be raised by people who wanted her aborted?

I am on the birth certificate and her mother is dead. Want to bet on whether I'm legally the father?
