If your name is not on your girl's birth certificate you will have to file an action in court to determine paternity. You can then request DNA testing and establish paternity. Be mindful that once your paternity is established you will have not only rights but also duties. You will have to participate to the support and decision with respect to your daughter.
We offer one 30 minutes initial phone or office consultation where you can learn more about the steps of what is available to you as well as the risks an coats for your specifics issue.

If your name is not on the birth certificatte then you have to petition the court to establish your parental rights.
