Should I put my childs father on the birth certificate?

You may need or want family medical background information in the future.

My evil twin says to send his wife a birth announcement.

Be done with him but make him support his child if he don’t he is a real pos

Dont put it on the birth certificate, dont come after child support. Just because you didnt want to back out of a pregnancy, doesnt mean his right to that doesnt go away. Your child will realize what kind of person his father is and it isnt worth the stress or court fees to try to force someone into parenthood, financially or otherwise.

for medical reasons put his name on the certificate.

Yes for the child’s sake and child support

I didn’t go after child support until he went after custody

Take him for children support. That support is for your baby and not you. I’d put his name on the birth certificate also because your child has a right to know who their father is.

Not a father… just a sperm donor!

Just make sure you write his name, his parents/family names down along with keeping track of any correspondence leading up to child’s birth. Do this so you have proof of his lack of responsibility and for future health issues if necessary so the family can be contacted if it becomes obvious it’s not from your side

Don’t. I learned the hard way.

If he doesn’t plan on being a father, no

He has to be present to go on the birth cert.

Your last name goes on birth certificate

Wipe your hands clean. Do yourself a favour.

Depends on if you want child support

I don’t think u can without them being there unless ur married x

If you want child support for the child you need to

see a family lawyer your child is the one to protect

Put your name not his

Ask him to sign over all rights and move on

Put his name and make him pay child support by law

Hes the father. His name should be on there reguardless of circumstances.

That should be your choice on what you do and not people who have no ideal about your life. People kill me with asking strangers about life changing situations #DOYOUand what’sbestforYOU :roll_eyes::roll_eyes:

Your choice but I say nope. To avoid a life of misery for mom and baby.

He has to be there to be on it

Wipe your hands clean ! Just remember if you put him on the birth certificate he will have full rights to your child. Plus if you should die he will have total custody and can do as he sees fit with the kid…meaning not let your family see the child ! You really want that ?

Don’t put him on there you will have to get permission from him to get passports

It would be stupid to not claim child support

Put him on this isnt about u or him its about this child and the child has a right to know who their father is if they wanna trace them later on

He would have to go with you to put his name on and it doesn’t sound like that’s an option, but no I wouldn’t stress about putting him on now. If in the future there’s a trusting relationship you can add him on

So do you or will you want child support from the dude??? If so I would a the very least get a DNA test done for peace of mind for him if he is not put on the birth certificate. But I know in my state the father has to be present at the time of filling it out for them to be on the certificate. But I’m sure other states are different. This one is hard. And I wish you the best.

Wipe your hands clean of him

I foresee child support in the near future.

Wipe your hands of him you and your baby will deserve better

It’s up to u, not random strangers💕.

No. I just wash my hands of him .

Easier for u to leave him off …ur baby

I’d say if you can afford it, don’t put him on the birth certificate…

My mother didn’t place my sperm donors name on my birth certificate…and she never asked him for a dime either. Go with your gut…

He may be a poor excuse for a man…but you need to hold yourself accountable. 4 weeks? Why did you have sex with a man you barely new, obviously poorly protected? You do understand you get pregnant? Your as much to blame…more even…and now yet another child born to a single mom.ladies…i. sorry, but it’s time y’all start taking responsibility for your bodies and your poor choices. These kids deserve better.

My suggestion is to never contact him again. Do not put his name on the birth certificate.

That’s your choice,but you can still fi

I didn’t put anything on my sons certificate … he doesn’t have to be involved its safer if you dont give your kids his last name either …

Put his name on the certificate. Later on this kid will have questions.

Wipe your hands right now when u can

Wipe him off, learn from your mistakes.

No don’t put his name on the birth certificate, he wanted you to abort

Dont put him on it gives him to many rights he dosnt really want anyway

No do not put him on the birth certificate. He is nothing but a sperm donor at this point. Get him out of your life and enjoy your child when he or she is born.

The child may have medical issues, so it would be prudent to have the biological father, on the birth certificate.

Even if he doesn’t sign the birth certificate he’s still going to be financially responsible unless he signs his parental rights away.

Absolutely do not give him his name. Forget bout him. You can make him go through all the channels of proving paternity and then paying child support.

Well he didn’t agree, parenthood is a matter
Of two, your choice to keep it . So let the irresponsible dad go and be happy

If you are able to care for the child yourself, why bother. However, if you seek assistance they will want his name.

Leave him off, unless you WILL get 18 years of GOOD child support!! But also make sure your child can know just WHO is his biological father, especially if a medical necessity came up.

He has to be there to sign it. You can’t just put his name on it

If he doesn’t want to be a parent don’t make him. That includes financial support. He said he don’t want it. You do. You raise it nobody should be made to be a parent that don’t want to be a parent man or woman. If you wanted and abortion and he made you become a mom. Would you like that?

No way, by putting his name on you are opening yourself up to a legal battle for custody, his parents might want legal visitation rights ( some states) years down the line, or right away. If he chances his mind later you can check into legalities and be better apprised of his situation, new wife, parents, does he have other children, things to consider in babies well being

He obviously does not want to do with anything with you and your unborn child. Do what is best for you. Since you are going to keep this child, do realize that if you name the father, you would be giving him rights over this child. He may not want to have anything to do with this child now but what if he suddenly changes his mind? The hospital would need this man to sign the birth certificate to confirm that he is indeed the father and you should try to file to attain full custody of your baby and have him sign away his rights. Consider this man just a sperm donor.

However, if you cannot afford raising this child on your own, then you must place the child’s welfare first and name this father and press for financial support. That would require a lawyer and DNA testing with much future stress and heartache to follow. You must decide whether it is worth the trouble.

Of course, the child has every right to know who his/her biological father is It is important to know about a bloodline’s health history.

You put him on there so you can collect child support!

He doesnt have to be on the birth certificate for you to get child support theyll do a paternity test, if he wants anything to do with the kid later he can always petition a paternity test himself and it wont matter if hes on the birth certificate or not. So i wouldnt do it unless the kids gonna ha r his last name which I assume its not

He should help pay for that bundle of joy, for the next 18 years.

What will you tell your child

Child support. Make him pay for his part .

If you can afford to do it solo, sounds like the best option. If you can’t, you probably shouldn’t have the child.
This is a personal choice.

You can’t put him on the birth certificate, without him signing it since y’all aren’t married. Just leave him be.

He doesn’t have to be on the birth certificate to file for support. Also they won’t let you put him on the birth Certificate if he isn’t present.

If you have to ask, then you know the answer. Don’t do it.

From just reading the top line… nope wipe Your hands clean hun

I won’t put his name since he wanted you to abort the baby…

Put his sorry name on it, for more reasons than one…it may be to the child’s benifit…have the child legitimized…

Don’t put his name on the BC and then get CS from him. There’s nothing saying he has to be named on the BC.

Anyone can be a father,it takes a real man to be a daddy

LEt him go, I wouldn’t chance him playing dirty later.on and claim rights to the child,.no name on certificate to indicate who father is.

If he wants no part than dont put him there is to much of a battle after. If he wants to be in the childs life after than he gotta earn that spot :woman_shrugging:t2:. You can add him later on.

I think he has to be present if ur in the UK to be put on the birth certificate x

No
Don’t
Go near.him he wanted you to
Abort

I wouldnt put him on the birth certificate or ask for help. Dont need help from someone who doesn’t want a child :woman_shrugging:t3:

Put him on it and hold him accountable. You did not make that baby all by yourself

Don’t put him on the birth certificate

If you want child support yes

If your gonna wipe your hands clean of the monstrosity you dont need to claim child support…

Put him on the certificate, and file for child support.

Worst thing is asking total strangers on Facebook for advice

Kick him to the curb. Just an FYI, he doesn t have 2 b on the birth cert. to claim support. Give the child your last name. A donor doesn t have to b on the bc. Get a female lawyer and get support. He owes that child support. He doesn t owe the child a deadbeat father.

Leave him out of it. The baby is yours

You keep pushing mamma. Fuck him in his peepee hole!! No one gonna love or take care of your baby more than you!

As much as he sounds like a dork, your baby still needs to know the fathers side, u might need financial assistance one day. U don’t have to have the man in your life, just don’t not do it because he is useless and you are angry, I know a couple of women who didn’t put the name on the birth cert and this caused a lot of problems for their child later on in life. If u don’t now, U will have to prove him being the father with a DNA. The man can’t fight for custody if he has nothing to do with baby. Just my opinion🙂

Wipe your hands of that POS. He’s made it pretty clear that he doesn’t want you or the kid. He can go Fck himself. Enjoy your pregnancy and be happy with your child.

I know in both Alabama and Mississippi, unless something has changed, the father does not have to sign the birth certificate to be put on it. My husband never had to sign a thing. I signed the birth certificate and he’s on there.

Now, having said that, he made it very clear that he didn’t want a child with you. I’m going to guess that either protection was used and failed, or it was never used at all. Either way, you’re now pregnant, and he has no desire to be a father. Give your child your last name, and cut ties. If you try to force the situation, he will most likely resent both you AND the child he didn’t want from the beginning. I know all about how a father resents a child he doesn’t want. Don’t do that to your baby

First of all dont be having unprotected sex with a fling. Even if the dude is somebody you dont view as a good person he is still the father correct? You may not like the guy but holding a child from a parent isnt a good look. Just be humble and rise above the situation. I understand that many rivers flow many ways but that would be my advice.

The baby should take your surname instead
Don’t put the fuckers name if he doesn’t wanna have anything to do with it in the first place

He can “track” the child later on without his name being on the birth certificate, but he already said he didn’t want to be a father, so what kind of bull crap nonsense are you really intending by having his name on the birth certificate?

Don’t do it. It’ll bite you in the patoot down the road. I’ve seen it happen way too many times. I left my son’s paternity section blank and gave my son my last name. No baby daddy drama, no legal drama.

Only you can make that decision. Figure out whether you:
Need financial help (Child support)

Whether your decision to not put him on is due to the fact he used you til he got back with his ex

Making sure his decision to not want to be a dad is 100% certain… men freak all the time. But usually, not always, when they see their child, everything changes.

This could also be the work of the girlfriend too. Let it be known that you guys can all be mature, and he can be a boyfriend and a father.

do not put him on, he might try to take the baby from you and manipulate you through the baby, you can always tell your child who their father is but when a man says “ABORT” make sure you abort him out of your life

You can’t put him on the birth certificate unless he’s there so if he wants nothing to do with you or the baby I’d say no

Place your feeling aside and think long term. Your child may want him in their life. Let that be your child’s decision so you can’t be blamed in the future for denying them of their father if he’s still a jerk your child will see it. You can get child support put it in an account for the child’s future college fund whatever
