    Anyone know of any cases where a biological mother is compelled to amend the child's birth certificate to include the biological father's name on same as the father?  TIA

    Jennifer, Not sure of the question.  Could you clarify?  Most of these issues are covered by the Parentage Act in respect to when a birth father can seek to amend a birth certificate as of right (within 120 days of the birth of a child) - placing the burden on the mother to challenge -- or thereafter by the filing of a paternity action by the putative father in an FD action.
