How can we correct my son's birth certificate in Delaware?
I have been taking care of my son since he was born. I found out when he was 16 that my name was not on his birth certificate. The party listed was proven not to be the father when my son was a baby. There should be court records to evidence this. When I found out about this issue, his mother refused to have it corrected. My son is now 20 years and wants this corrected. What can he or I do to facilitate this?
Should I serve the mother by publication after failed attempts in Georgia?
In attempting to legitimate my son I filed a Petition to Legitimate with the superior court of Mitchell County Georgia where my son resides with his mother. I simultaneously paid the sheriff's fee to serve the mother with the petition. I received notice that the sheriff had made 10 attempts to serve the petition and that the mother had refused to answer the door. Should my next step be to serve the mother with the Petition by Publication or is there another alternative? I reside in PA. My question conncerns legal rights to my minor son who lives in GA
