the attorney my daughters father, not legally recognized due to him not being on her birth certificate and no DNA being done, has retained saying that she told him to go to the hospital and show security and supervisors text messages and emails of me stating he is her father to prove to them he is the father so he can obtain records of her and know if she was at that hospital at that time or not

The lawyer claiming that he did that and was allegedly told by the people that work at the hospital there was no record of my daughter at all and told him that he has every right to have information on my daughter and has every right to be fully involved in medical decisions of my daughter

If I provide him with a picture of my childs birth certificate, even if he is not legally acknowledged as her father, that is only showing my name and my daughters name could that be used as a catalyst for his attorney to prove the existence to take me to court/
Hi ****,
Providing a picture of your child's birth certificate, which only shows your name and your daughter's name, does not legally acknowledge him as the father. However, it might be used as a piece of evidence by his attorney to initiate legal proceedings for paternity recognition.
