How can i get a copy of an acknowledgment of paternity that i know was signed in Brooklyn, NY in 1998?
The paternity acknowledgment is located with your local department of child support services. They receive a copy of the document and then file the document into their system. For each completed paternity acknowledgment form the hospital where the birth occurred is paid a small amount of money this is to make sure that the hospital in fact files the document with child support services. If you are in doubt as to which local child support agency actually received the document…call the hospital and ask them where they file or send their documents and then make contact with that specific agency. Additionally….have you opened a case with your local child support agency? They will assist you in obtaining child support as well as documenting paternity….no charge to you.
