Yes, I know this sounds horrible, but I need advice.

I will try to give the facts needed to answer my question. I lived in Kansas and I was in a relationship for almost 3 years, my boyfriend (Father A) at the time signed my son's birth certificate when he was born even though he is not the father. We broke up, it was ugly, he made some bad choices (I was forced to call the cops at one point). I moved to Oklahoma a little over a month ago and married the biological father (Father B) of my child. I am wanting to go to court to have the birth certificate changed to list my son's actual father (B) and remove Father A. Since we are married are we (my son and I) still not considered residence of OK since it has not been 6 months of us living in the state? Basically if I am married to a resident of OK then can the judge order me to move back to KS to be closer to Father A if it is decided that he should stay o nthe birth certificate. (My son is 2.5, Father A has been the father figure for the first two years, as I understand it that gives him parental rights and some judges may say he is to stay o nthe birth certificate.) Father B had no idea he was the father until 5 months ago when we did a DNA test to make it definate.
Hopefully this made sense, I know it all sounds horrible and twisted. Father A has not tried to keep in touch and rarely answers my phone calls when I try to have my son talk to him. He has not filed or requested visitation.
 
If you have been in OK for 6 months they would have jurisdiction. If Father A wants nothing to do with the child then don't contact him. I am not sure if you can change fathers now legally, because most states have a time frame to do that. since the child was born in KS I believe you have to go off of the laws in KS for disputing paternity. As long as you do not go on gov't assistance or file for CS, Father A doesn't have to be involved but you'll have to google laws to see if you can do a b/c switch.
 
Not OK resident yet

I have only lived in Oklahoma for maybe 1.5 months. We are just worried that the judge will tell me to move back to KS. Can he do that if my husband is a resident of OK?
