Are you struggling with access and visitation with your children?

Child Support Services may be able to help.

NOTICE: Paternity Acknowledgment Form and Hospital Limitations

Hospital visitor limitations have prevented some parents from adding the father’s name to their child’s birth certificate. Parents can complete Paternity Acknowledgment (PA) forms at a Vital Records office to update the birth certificate.
