Stepson's baby (Family Law)

Tue, 17 Mar 2009 17:43:00 GMT

What is the name of your state (Missouri)?
My Stepson has recently moved in with his father and I and his 10 month old daughter is with him. His name is not on the birth certificate but he has had a DNA done which states he is the father. The mother has no home at the moment and is living on the street but is claiming she will have a hotel room in a couple of weeks. The mother has two other children she has lost custody of to their father. My question is how do we go about getting my stepson's name on the birth certificate and custody for him?

    YOU can't get custody for him.
    NO ONE can get custody FOR him.
    Time for step-son to man up and figure it out.
    *Hint - He needs to start with an attorney consult.

  • I don't want the custody, I want to help him get it. He wants the custody.

    YOU need to butt out of HIS affairs. You are so far removed from this situation, it isn't even funny.
    Even if you were his mom, you would need to step back and let him handle it.
    But you aren't even that. You are a legal stranger to him and his daughter.
    If step-son cares to get advice, have him come here, get his own ID, and post his own questions. We'll be glad to help him.
    You are a 3rd party, and could not possibly have the answers to all the questions that would be asked.
