Nevada. Pregnant Girlfriend Says She Won’t Put My Son (the Father) On The Birth Certificate. What Are His Rights?
My son (18) and his girlfriend (18) are expecting a baby. They are not married and do not currently live together. They have been in a long-term relationship and both planned to move in together before the baby’s birth.
Yesterday she told him she will not be putting his name on the baby’s birth certificate because they are unmarried. She also told him he has “zero rights” and she made this decision earlier in the pregnancy. This was unexpected, and he is unsure how to respond.
Location: We are in Nevada.
My son wants to be involved and wants legal recognition as the father. He believes he has no rights if she refuses to list him. I read online that he may be able to sign a voluntary acknowledgment of paternity (VAP) at the hospital or establish paternity through the court.
My questions: 1. What are his rights in Nevada if she refuses to put him on the birth certificate? 2. Can he request to sign the voluntary paternity acknowledgment at the hospital without her agreement? 3. If she refuses entirely, what is the process for establishing paternity through the court? 4. Are there Nevada resources (legal aid, family court self-help, or low-cost consultations) that assist with paternity and custody questions?
Thank you.
