Summary
Father's Equity Act - Amends the Immigration and Nationality Act respecting acquisition of citizenship for a child born abroad and out of wedlock to a U.S.-citizen father to eliminate requirements that: (1) the father agree in writing to provide financial support until the child reaches 18 years old; and (2) before the child reaches 18 years old paternity is acknowledged by the father and established by court adjudication. States that nothing in the provision respecting acquisition of citizenship for a child born abroad and out of wedlock shall be construed to preclude establishment of citizenship after the parent or parents' death.
