Ohio Revised Code 3705.09(F)(1) states that if the mother of the child is married at the time of either conception or birth or between conception and birth the name of the husband shall (means must in this situation) be put on the certificate as the father of the child. Thus, your husband will be the presumed father of the child and listed on the birth certificate.
