how long does the father have to sign the birth certificate in indiana
If the parents are not married, the father may establish paternity by taking a paternity test and filing a petition to be named as the child's father. The father may also submit an affidavit of paternity and file it with the Indiana Department of Health within 72 hours of the birth of the child. This grants the father a right to be placed on the birth certificate and all other parental rights and duties.
