I am 8 months pregnant i need to know if my husband can isgn the birth certificate even if the supposed father of my son does a DNA test would that matter or what? and also he is trying to take my son away how can he prove me a unfit mother?

Okay, I know some about this, so hopefully I will make sense.

Any man can sign the declaration of paternity. After he signs it, he has 5 years to contest it. This is to protect the child. If another man establishes paternity, the state will usually change the birth certificate themselves to reflect that information. You have no say in the matter, unless he were to sign away his rights and the child was adopted by another man. A friend of mine listed unknown on her son's birth certificate, but after the father established paternity, they just reissued a new one with his name on it. She was furious.

As far as proving you to be unfit, you have just as much opportunity to show yourself not to be. Bring letters of witness, programs you are involved in, etc. Try some local agencies and see if you can sign up for some new parent programs. These can go far in showing a judge that you are invested in being the best parent you can.

Actually, that law is changing due to a 30% rate of patrnity fraud.
