My partner and I had a child together while she was married to someone else. Her husband’s name is on the birth certificate. Now they are divorced, and we’re getting married. Can I legally change the child’s birth certificate to reflect my name as the father?

In India, a child’s birth certificate can only be amended by a court order. Since the child was born during your partner’s marriage to another man, even with their divorce, a court would likely require proof of your paternity through DNA testing and may consider the husband’s rights as well.
