Birth certificate

Hey yall, does anyone know if my bd has to go on the birth certificate in order to get child support? He didn’t go to the birth, he never met her in person and she’s almost a year old now. He really has no interest in being a father but I don’t wanna start something unless I know she won’t have to be around him. I know they’ll give him visitation unless I speak up and I really don’t wanna go that route. Any info is appreciated

He doesn’t need to but dna would be needed either way I believe if u want child support I don’t recommend putting him on the certificate or else if u need passport or anything for it baby u will need his signature as well my mom has that problem now bc she put our dad in my brothers certificate now she can’t get them passport for them needs him to sign

@Caro🩷 yes I really don’t want to put him on but I’m worried they will if I file for cs

@Lauren my biological father is not on my birth certificate but he had to pay child support. All they did was a DNA test and then the court process. Just get a DNA test and you’ll be fine (:

@Lauren they won’t they just gonna do dna test to confirm that he is the father

No you don’t have too. My mother didn’t put my father on mine and she was able to claim. Just needed a quick DNA for the court to say “yes he is the biological father” They can’t legally change a birth certificate for that reason anyway. A birth certificate is to prove your babies birth not so concerned with who the parents are. It’s for your babies identity etc

I don't think you can file for cs unless he's on the birthday certificate.

I'm not married to my child's to father so we had to watch a whole video on it at the hospital. I basically remember it saying if you choose not to sign then you give up all parental rights, including the need to pay child support

You can put them on CS with out having them on the birth certificate. If he’s claiming the child is not his and dna shows he’s the father they will make him pay for cs and he will have NO rights to your baby what so ever. If he goes and says yes he is the father then they will do a dna test and put him on cs with parental rights. It all depends how he responds/ reacts to the situation.

Even if he decided to “give up his rights” willingly knowing he is the father. They will still out him on CS for the next 18years and have NO parental rights to the child.
