Should I put my childs father on the birth certificate?

Hell no he dosent want the kid it’s your fault for leaving for someone else you should have to do it on your own

If you don’t you can’t make him pay child support and in some states if your not collecting support. You can’t get state aid.

I wouldn’t as when it comes to passports etc u need his signature as well for ur child

No you can do it solo. This avoids the possibility of messy legal consequences down the road. Best of luck to you and your lil one❤️

Entirely up to you to do what you think is right for you and your child

No, i would not put him there, just write down who he is and everything you know about him. and when your child is old enough give the information

No don’t out him on the birth certificate. Don’t claim child support leave him be

If your from arkansas the father has to be there to sign the birth certificate if your unarried and hechascto show identification

He is still the father regardless so I would put him name on the birth certificate

Well he is said fetuses birth father and it’s really not about you. It’s about said fetus.

Don’t ask us ask him what he would like to happen and make sure it’s put in writing.

Doesn’t he have to come with you I don’t think you can if he’s not their

No, he already said he wanted an abortion he didn’t want a child. Don’t force him into Parenthood when he already said he didn’t want it.

In UK father can only be added if he is present at time of registration

Definitely leave off. I have a friend who had an issue with this. Your best bet is to keep him off it and debate specifics down the road IF they come up. This guy doesn’t want this kid.

Personally I’d let it be and wash my hands of him. And if he wants rights later on, make him work for it.

He will have to sign a paternity for other cannot be on the bc

Walk. No more contact. He’s made his bed now let him lie in it. He will no doubt roll up sooner or later

If you don’t put it on the birth certificate, you will never get any child support

In our state you cannot put the father on the certificate unless they are present during birth.

Whomever name you put on certificate will have rights to child, even has chance to get full custody and cs. I would let other know of due date and if other wants to be on certificate show up on day of delivery.

Children need both parents…do not make that decision for your child.

Give him the choice when baby is born. Tell him the time and place youre registering the baby and let him decide if he wants to be on it.

But if he say to get rid of it it’s telling you that he does not want the child that’s coming so don’t put his farm name on it

There’s plenty of time. See how things play out. There are legal and personal advantages/disadvantages so I would look in to those in the remaining months.

Only can put his name on birth cert (in calif) if he signs paternity affidavit. If you file for child support, he will have to take paternity test. Then you can amend b c. you’re in for a tough road ahead.

He wants you to abort? And yet you ask this anyway? You clearly need to get your priorities in order.

No. You shouldn’t. He probably wouldn’t pay child support anyway.

Doesn’t the father have to be there for you to put his name on?

Anything can change by the time the baby comes. If he’s still being like this, then definitely not.

Nah forget the deadbeat unless he will pay child support and be a dad

Leave it off, he still has to pay child support regardless,

See a lawyer in YOUR jurisdiction. Laws are different in different places.

With out his permission you want be able.

Doesn’t he have to be present to sign the certificate himself? That’s my understanding?

Yes! My daughter didn’t and the father died and now she can’t get a social security check for him.

Get him to sign off all rights to the child if he doesn’t want anything to do with you or his child. This will protect your child down the road.

I’m sorry, I would of taken care of that 2 weeks ago.

If you go to family court and lodge a claim for custody, he is not likely to front. That is likely to anul any claim he might make in the future to custodial rights.
Even if he doesn’t have custodial rights, he might in the future try to apply, but as long as you’re not endangering your child, he would find that difficult to acheive. (if you were endangering your child, Children’s Services are far more likely to place it with its’ maternal grandparents or even a maternal aunt or uncle’s family before a non-custodial absentee father).
EACH STATE HAS DIFFERENT LAWS when it comes to custodial rights. Go to Centrelink for info.

I left my daughter’s father (WA) and he didn’t bother fronting yo custody hearing.
I didn’t chase him for child support. But because his name was on birth cert, the Child Support Agency pursued him anyway, irrespective of my wishes, and he was required to backpay according to his liability, and he had to pay until she was 16.

My daughter chose to sever contact with him when she was a teenager, and when he passed away, he excluded her from his will. Had she wished to, she could have contested this and claimed a portion of his estate. Mind you, she figured he was just as likely to have died in debt, so she didn’t want to inherit that, either.

Speaking on behalf of the child:
your child will ask you who its’ father was, it may long to know its’ cousins, and some might argue that it has these rights.

But you are the adult, the only active parent, and the person who will be ‘left holding the baby’ (literally).

Weight it all up.
Go with what you feel you can cope with, practically, emotionally, and in your moral obligations to your child.
Then stick to your guns.

You went out for 4 weeks? Not very responsible on either of you…

If he don’t want you to have it what makes you think he gone want rights later on

Don’t do it

If he doesn’t want anything to do with it then don’t give him that choice

You call him a fling yet are thinking about putting his name on a legal & permanent document. Hmmmm

Put his name and take him to court he is also responsible to help raise the baby.

Wipe your hands clean. I wouldn’t even worry about collecting child support later on.

This is what is wrong with y’all NO MORALS! Then not bright enough to be responsible.

you can legally make sure that he has no rights to the kid. i’d claim child support since he helped to make the baby. and there’s no reason why he shouldn’t pay.

Why would you deny your child the right to know his or her own history down the track?

Leave it off. He doesn’t want you to have it, he’s not father material

Put h on it the baby can draw SS up to adulthood if something happens to him

Naw… its yours… i wisb i hadnt done it with me last two… it only caused so much greif…

I would put him on the birth certificate and he would pay child support. Amen

Walk away. You’ve been blessed by this Gift.

If you can afford to not claim child support I would be done with his nasty self evil don’t even care about his child

Defo not, he is not worth the title of Daddy. No contact to a waste of space. Go girl :+1::+1::+1: xx

Suspect nothing would come from putting him on certificate. Even if needed support it would mean court fights to get any help. Do believe the day will come when child will want to know who he is. At that time you should tell the child who he is.

You can’t just put him on the birth certificate he has to sign it

He made the baby let him help with support.

Wipe your hands and walk away.

Claim the child support … Don’t let him walk free

You can’t just put a name on a birth certificate. Keep his name around tho.

I wouldn’t. He clearly doesn’t want to be a father to that child.

No name on the b c. Make sure you legally have the child given your last name. Been there with someone else

I would,but your last name n put him on child support…

Yes put him on it…they’ll do a DNA and he will have pay child support

No don’t put his name on it

Without coming across as harsh but 4 weeks and you slept with him not using protection. Every father has the right to be on the birth certificate. You where both adult enough to consent to doing the deed. Put his name on the certificate educate your child on how to treat women. All this child as a weapon will destroy us all. Now is the time to change how people think.

Do not put his name on the BC! Go about your life. Don’t give him the option to come into their life IF or WHEN he feels like it. You give that baby your name and raise them the way a great mama should. I am a single mom. My baby has my last name. Bd has not been in my life since I was 7mo pregnant and everyday im beyond happy with my decision. Do what is right for you and baby.

I dont think you can just put him on it. He has to be there and agree and sign it.

My sons bio father isn’t on his.

Wipe your hands clean and enjoy your baby

Put him name on it for your baby

Child Support for sure.
