Eugene, OR asked in Family Law for Oregon

Q: Married to a man who was not bio father of children. Bio dad wants to be on birth certificate. Easy way to do this?

I was not with "husband" anymore at time of 3 children's birth. We couldn't do paternal affidavit at time because I was married to someone else (according to clause on the affidavit). How can I get his name put on the birth certificates now?
