Acknowledgment of paternity is the voluntary process of both parents signing a notarized Affidavit of Parentage (AOP), legally declaring the paternity of a child. The AOP is the Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) form DCH-0682 (see Appendix A). A completed AOP sample form is also attached (see Appendix B).
Changes to registered birth records can be requested based upon a properly completed affidavit and an Application to Add a Father on a Michigan Birth Record (form DCH-0848).
The birth certificate is the record of the child's birth and is usually created at the hospital when the baby is born. It is not used to establish paternity. If the mother is married when she becomes pregnant or when the baby is born, her husband's name will be put on the birth certificate as the child's father.
Once paternity has been established, a father now has the same rights and obligations as any other parent. These rights include obtaining orders regarding physical and legal custody, having input into decisions concerning the child, spending quality time with the child and being responsible for supporting the child.
Without establishing paternity, a man has no legal rights to see his children or to be involved in major decisions affecting their lives. If a mother wants to keep a man's children from him and he has not established paternity, he has no legal recourse. Children also benefit from having established paternity.
