    This guy doesn’t want the government to be involved in his family life but also wants courts to recognize he is the legal father of the child?

        My dad and my brother both have passports and travel regularly.

        I can’t get a passport because my dad refuses to give me legal access to his birth certificate to prove that one of my parents was a citizen when I was born.

        Why? Because according to the him, the government shouldn’t need that information from our family, so he refuses on principal.

        I can’t get a passport without that document.

        I can try and take my dad to small claims court, but I don’t have the money for that, my relationship with my dad is civil and functional aside from this one issue, and getting lawyers involved will destroy the family, all I want is a passport.

        He needs a psychiatrist, not a lawyer. Because he makes no sense.

        There isn’t really enough advice or support out there for children of whack job idiots.

          Just remember. If you end up having to sue him to get this resolved, that’s not you destroying the family, that’s him.
