For the child’s sake, identity the biological father. The child has the right to know. To have a birth certificate with “Father Unknown” is humiliating and implies the mother is promiscuous.
If he is the father he should go on the birth certificate because you may need help on support later on down the road as the kid gets older.
I am not sure what l would do but the child someday will want to know about their father
You can still get child support without him being on the birth certificate they will do a DNA test
All depends on your finances. Also future financial situation. In my opinion if this is good , then wipe your hands clean of him . Move to another state . Make it harder for him .
But remember you are going to have explain to your child . Be honest. You might be surprised.
I chose to put his name down and regret it to this day.
Put his name on the birth certificate, doesn’t mean you have to do anything else with him. But if you ever need help from a government agency they will require it anyway, if you name him then you can formally terminate his rights, if you don’t name him it makes everything a lot harder for your little one.
Your child deserves to know where they come from regardless of how loose your morals are. Be better!
I have adopted a son who did not know who his biological father was and it really bothered him. His bio mom identified a possible man. I was able to track him down, identified other children he had and was able to get them to do a dna test. It showed they had the same father. Bio Dad still was not interested, but the information helped my adopted son in his quest to understand who he is. This was an important piece.
My dad waved his rights to me and my mom still went after him and got child support.
In your situation, Him having no parental rights would be more important to me than getting money for child support.
If you intend to get child support, he must be on the birth cert,
Even if the siete donor doesn’t want to take responsibility, he is responsible and is part of the life history of the baby.
Well give the child your last name we all know you can always change it
Move on and don’t take his name
It’s better in the end

Dont.do it , he could.be put.on later…for.your.piece.of.mind dont do it
I would say yes, and your child deserves the financial support. Facts are facts
Health record. Child support. Family ties. Responsibility.
Leave it off. He may come back later begging to see said child. He would have to prove he is the real dad.
I was with a guy. Have 3 son’s by him. Put his name on the birth certificates. After he found out that they were going to be disabled. He then wanted a blood test to prove they were his.
Left him took care of the boys. Best thing
Forget about him. He’s not worthy of you or your child😇
Leave him off he told you wanted move on support your baby

There are pros and cons with each scenario; the main pro of having him on the birth certificate is you can go after him for child support but the very large con is that he can then repeatedly sue you for custody in ugly custody battles. Pick your poison.
No he doesn’t deserve any rights.
Is that how it normally go?
I would walk away! I have walked away twice!
…and, child support is a legal obligation for the benefit of the child. In NJ, for instance, the policy which undergirds that obligation, acknowledges responsibility for the care of children lies with their procreators, versus the taxpayer.
Ask an attorney for the best thing for you and your child.
