If you were not married, you need to sign an affidavit of paternity to be on the birth certificate. If she refuses to cooperate, file a petition to establish parentage. If she does cooperate, file a petition to establish a parenting plan, since you are not a legal father until the court has established you as one.

Request a copy of the birth certificate. If you are the biological father, you should file a complaint to establish paternity, whether you are on the birth certificate or not if you were not married to the mom at the time.
