If I'm on the the birth certificate can I pick up my son from daycare without issue
Hello Mike, the ability to pick up your child from daycare isn't solely determined by being on the birth certificate. It can also depend on custody arrangements and daycare policies. May I know your location to provide more specific information?

Hello Mike,
- In Missouri, being on the birth certificate gives you paternity rights.
- However, if there are custody orders or daycare policies in place, they would apply.
- If not, you can pick up your son without issue.
There isn't a custody agreement
In that case, Mike, you have the right to pick up your son from daycare as you're on the birth certificate. However, it's recommended to check with the daycare's policy to avoid any confusion.
