    printer friendly version

    Question: I am pregnant and not married, do I have to list the baby's father's name on the birth certificate? If so, what rights does he have to the child versus if I didn't put his name on the certificate?

    Answer: No, you do not have to list the baby's father's name on the birth certificate. (A.R.S. § 36-334)

    If you do put the baby's father's name on the birth certificate and the father acknowledges paternity (A.R.S. § 25-814), he would have rights to parenting time with the baby (A.R.S. § 25-402) and you would be able to get child support.

    Noncustodial parents (the parent who does not have custody of the child) do have rights and you can read more about it in A.R.S. § 25-408. Also, remember that the father can petition or ask the court to establish paternity or prove he is the father (A.R.S. § 25-803(A)2)
