So, I thought I'd ask...
In my quest to obtain documentation, that the ex refuses to provide to me (joint custody), in order to obtain D4 a SIN #, I found out that D4's birth certificate has no information listed for me (the father).
The ex left my info off the form.
I wish for this to be corrected. How should I proceed?
- already spoke with Service Ontario, to find out my options, and apparently, it can only be "ammended" with Mom's agreement, and she has to sign off on it, to have father's info added?
- I highly doubt that will be forthcoming
I was present at D4's birth, in the hospital, but nowadays you get a packet to do all the registration stuff, and apparently Mom did this without me, online? I'm guessing to ensure that D4's lastname did not include any part of mine (we didn't agree on lastname, she did the last minute switcheroo towards the end, I was kind of resigned she wouldn't agree anymore on that). I did not think, that she would exclude listing me at all.
I'm guessing, this would need to be addressed in a court motion, ordering the certificate to be ammended. Is DNA a requirement before any such motion? Or would they just need Mom to agree and state I am Dad. It's late in the game now to question paternity (I'm Dad in D4's eyes), and I don't really question it, but at same time part of me wonders why Mom would exclude listing me.
And I guess technically, I could be requesting to ammend the certificate, with incorrect info, although I would hope that is not the case here, so perhaps DNA would be required by court, for such a motion?
I did look on CanLII (posted links in another thread on here), where motions were done, to have the name and parentage corrected.
