City/Local police serve cities and patrol within City limits. Every State Policing organization follows the state's Penal Code. County Sheriffs also enforce county mandates. Local Police follow both county mandates and city ordinances. Every state is self-governing over their own land so each is different in regards to their Penal Codes.
If you legally acknowledge paternity by including the father on your child's birth certificate, then your child will be eligible to receive Social Security death benefits. Plus, the idea that including him on the birth certificate makes it easier for him to get custody is a misconception.In reality, your baby's father can formally request custody or visitation at any time â whether he's on the birth certificate or not. All he has to do is file a request with your local family court.irst, you should know that legally including the father's name on a state-issued birth certificate requires his participation. So if he happens to be unavailable â because you don't know who he is or cannot locate him â it's a non-issue.
You can (1) file a petition for custody or visitation on your own behalf, with or without a lawyer, starting in the local juvenile and domestic relations district court. If you and your son or daughter is the non custodial parent (the parent who has less time with the children), you can also (2) petition together.
