If I get a call from a parent of a child born in California like the call Cheryl Elliot got, I'd keep in mind that I can't give legal advice, and also keep in mind that I can turn down an appointment if I don't think things are going to turn out well.
I see there is a sample form that might be the one Cheryl Elliot encountered:
http://www.childsup.ca.gov/Portals/0/cp/docs/cs909_english.pdf
I'd be turning that appointment down. First, the signer is making a declaration under penalty of perjury, which is an affirmation. But the certificate is for an acknowledgement. Considering the critical nature of the document, I woudn't let that slide.
Next, the signer is declaring under the penalty of perjury of the laws of the State of California. But I'm a Vermont notary. So even if we found out it was OK to change the certificate from an acknowledgement to an affirmation, I'm not so sure I could administer the affirmation, since it calls out the laws of California. |
