hi. i have a really dumb problem. i need to know if it is possible to have the name listed as the father stricken from your child's birth certificate. he is not the biological father. when i met this man, i was pregnant. he said he would marry me and adopt the child. when my son (now 3 yrs old) was born, we still were not married, but i went ahead and had his name put as the father (and, of course, gave my son his last name). we never got married. to make an extremely long story short, this guy was arrested for raping my sister (when my son was one yr old)and i haven't seen him since then (thank goodness). the thought of my son having this guy's last name makes me sick. i know i can have his last name changed to mine, but can i have this man taken off his birth certificate? what can i do? where do i begin? please help me. any answers will be so greatly appreciated!!

I posted this elsewhere (when you first asked the quesiton), but in case you didn't see it...
I would advise you to contact a family law attorney in the state that issued the birth certificate. An appearance before a family court judge will almost certainly be necessary, if it is possible to make the change at all.
