My SO passed away back in April before our second child was born. We were not married and he obviously can’t sign a recognition of parentage. Because of this I was not able to put him on our son’s birth certificate. I’m wondering how to go about fixing this issue. Everyone says that a DNA test will be needed. Which is fine I’m okay with doing that, but where is the form to petition the court??? The only one I can find online is for a county I don’t live in. I don’t have money for a lawyer and don’t see why I would need one with such a straight forward matter.

I am so sorry for your loss.
Is there a legal clinic associated with a law school close to you? They should be able to assist you for little to no cost.
You may need to petition the Court, but this can be done.
