Gina did not identify Child One’s father on Child One’s original birth certificate. At some point after Child One’s birth, Child One’s birth certificate was changed to reflect Egan as her father.
The new birth certificate bears the same certificate number as the original, as well as the same receipt date, which is identified as September 17, 1996, six days after Child One’s birth.
While the original certificate did not identify either Child One’s “father’s name” or “father’s race,” the new certificate identifies Child One’s father as “Egan Hajime Inoue,” and her father’s race as “Japanese.”
Inoue v. Inoue, 185 P. 3d 834 - Haw: Intermediate Court of Appeals 2008
FOF 2(a) states:A parent can amend an original BC for up to a year without Court adjudication. After a year, parent must file a complaint with the Family court. If the Court orders a new BC, then the "date accepted" will be changed to "date filed."
Egan and Gina are the parents of three minor children. The Certification of Live Birth issued by the State of Hawaii for each child indicate the following:
(a) [CHILD ONE] was born on September 11, 1996 in the County of Honolulu. Mother's Maiden Name is Gina Lenee' Butera. The initial Certification of Live Birth did not identify a father for [Child One]. Gina, with Egan's consent, arranged for another Certification of Live Birth to be issued which identified Father's Name as Egan Hajime Inoue. The second Certification of Live Birth indicated that the date accepted by the State Registrar was September 17, 1996.
