Is there any way for a mother who was married during the pregnancy to use a Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity form?
The Center for Health Statistics receives information from the hospital about whether the mother was married during the pregnancy. If the hospital reported that the mother was married, the Center for Health Statistics cannot accept and file the Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity affidavit unless the mother provides a certified court order (such as a divorce decree or an order of non-paternity) stating that the man who was her husband during the pregnancy is not the father of the child. Please send a certified copy of the court order (showing the original seal and signature of the court official) with the Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity affidavit. The usual $50 fee is charged when this process is completed after the child is born.
