Paternity Document Requirements Explained

Summary

Without a court order or legal action, you are not obligated to provide a birth certificate to the alleged father or his attorney. The alleged father has no legal rights to your daughter until paternity is established through a court process. An attorneys request alone does not require compliance. Legal proceedings can be initiated without immediate access to a birth certificate or medical records, and the court can order necessary documents or tests.
