I filed a Rescission of Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity and was denied. What can i do to get my name off birth cerficate?
Another issue that I forgot to mention is regarding your knowledge about not being the father of the child. How long have you known that you are not the father of the child. If you have known and have not done anything with this knowledge for a period of two years, then you could possibly have waived your right to challenge paternity. Again, please talk to an attorney to discuss your rights and obligations. (NOTICE: This post is for educational purposes only as well as to give some...

A Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity can only be rescinded within 60 days of signing it. After that the only way to challenge a Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity is by filing a Motion to Vacate on the grounds of fraud, duress, or mutual mistake of fact.

What state does not allow a child to decide what parent to live with at the age of 13?
You need to hire a family law attorney to protect your rights. The Court will take into consideration the best interests of the children but ultimately it will be up to the Judge to answer two questions: 1) does visitation seriously endanger the children and; 2) what kind of visitation is appropriate if there is no serious endangerment. A judge will likely have to consider the substantial absence of the father in the lives of the children in the best interest analysis if he gets to the second...

How do you file for child support and visitation without using an attorney? Or can you?
You can do all these things on your own. But its best to have a good attorney to guide you through a process that is quite unfamiliar and sometimes scary to most people. Issues pertaining to children are modifiable. This includes visitation, custody and child support. So, if a valid order for visitation was previously entered as you have stated and that order has not been trumped by a subsequent order terminating visitation or modifying visitation, then that order is still a valid order....
