Can a minor acknowledge that he is the father of a child?
If the biological father is under age 18, the acknowledgment must be authorized by his legal tutor(s). If the minor father’s parents are married the signature of the minor father’s father alone will suffice. If the parents of the minor father are judicially separated, divorced, or were never married, the parent awarded custody may sign the authorization. If the parents have joint custody, both parents must sign. If one or both parents of the minor father are absent, the legal guardian may consent to the acknowledgment.
