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.
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.
