Q: My son’s dad signed birth certificate late. Will i be able to get child support now or will i have to wait ?

We sent the papers in back in June, but it could take up to 10weeks for his name to officially be added to the birth certificate, can i go ahead & get child support or will i have to wait until his name is officially on the document?
