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

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

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 (:

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

The link, it has good information!

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.

I'm so not meant to be a mother.

My kids won't listen to me get into stuff when they know they aren't supposed to. Telling me no all the time. Only listen to their dad. Laughs when I correct them. I spend most of my time yelling at them because they don't want to listen to me at all. My husband said that I shouldn't have kids. And I am believing him on it. I was never meant to be a mother now. I won't hurt my kids I just want to disappear and make everyone else's lives better without me.

One and done… or not?

32ftm. I’m starting to feel so much pressure to have another baby soon as I wean from breastfeeding so they can be close in age and be friends, but I don’t feel ready for pregnancy and newborn trenches again 😭 my husband and I are all we’ve got. Having just one baby without a village has been really tough. Am I being unrealistic wanting another one soon?

Baby #2??

I really want baby number 2 and am thinking of doing it via IUI as a solo mama!
Has anyone had any experiences with it 👀

Tests

So I had a blood test at the drs bc I keep getting positive tests when the blood test was negative what could this mean? Hubby says the tests are negative and said he can’t see anything. Negative image down below.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.
