Paternity

I am a 25-year-old woman working in a bar as a bartender. I have been in an on and off relationship with a guy who is a regular at my bar. Due to excessive morning sickness, I decided to take a pregnancy test just to be sure. Turns out that I am pregnant. I am planning to have the kid. I don’t want my boyfriend’s name on the birth certificate as the child’s father. Is it possible to get the certificate without the name of the father in Alabama?

I was in a live in relationship with a girl while I was in college. Somehow, it didn’t work after college and we went our separate ways. Lately, through a common friend I found out that she had a child 5 months after we broke up. When I confronted her with this fact, she told me that the child is mine. I want to voluntarily acknowledge that I am the child’s father. How do I do that in Alabama?

I run a construction company and we just moved from Alabama to North Carolina because my company received a contract for a series of large-scale projects that will take at least 12 years to complete. When I tried to get my son enrolled in a private school, they required us to produce his birth certificate for completing the process. Up until now, we never thought about getting his birth certificate. He turned 13 this year. My parents are still in Alabama and can help out with the procedure. Will the delay in applying for the certificate cause any legal issues?

My ex-girlfriend and I were together for four years and lived in Arizona. During the course of our relationship, we had a son, who is one year old. However, recently my ex-girlfriend and I ended our four-year relationship and it was not amicable. My ex is refusing to let me see my son and is claiming that I am not the father. How can I prove that I am the father of my ex-girlfriend’s child?

My husband, a private company manager and myself being a homemaker have been co-habiting for nine years without a descendant. Despite being a medically proven healthy and sexually capable man, my husband had major concerns about his capability. Last year when I conceived, his concerns exploded and he left home leaving myself and our 6-month-year-old baby. And now he has stopped financial support as well. Can I apply for a paternity test and avail the child support under California laws?
