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.

Is this a dodgy test?

First response testing 4/5 days before my period is due! This one is even more sensitive for me because we lost a baby at 26 weeks in January! Do you think the test line looks like it might be inaccurate? Maybe I’m just in disbelief?

The hardest part about having no village

We hear moms talk all the time about not having a village and how parenting is just awful without having support. But I think the worse part about not having a village is watching my kid have no friends. I remember growing up and having cousins to play with, and my parents friends kids. There were always people around. But my kid, he has no one. I had kids late in life so the friends I had when I was pregnant all had kids much older than mine. My brothers kids are much older than mine. Now, those same friends dont talk to me anymore. Even if they did, their older kids probably wouldn't want to play with mine. Its hard watching my child be so desperate for friends that he latches onto whatever kid at the park he can find. He instantly calls them his friend, even if they are being mean to him. His "friends" are his stuffed animals. Thats who he has to play with. I've tried making mom friends with moms who have kids the same age, and it never works out. I've talked to moms at the park, even exchanged numbers and nothing. I dont really care that i have no friends. But my heart hurts for my son. We even had another baby just so he would have one constant kid to play with. But it took us longer than we wanted to get pregnant, and his brother is still a baby so hes not much fun yet. He's in school now, so I thought maybe he would make friends there, but when I try to talk to moms of his classmates to maybe set up playdates, I dont get anywhere there either. I dont know what I wanted to come from this post, just sharing my thoughts I guess. Maybe other moms can relate.

Am I pregnant?

I’m 18 days late from my missed period, I did a test 2 weeks ago and it was negative. I’ve just done one tonight (cheap one) & took it late in the evening & there is the faintest line. Does this look like a positive test for someone that is nearly 3 weeks late!?

Pre-Seed Success?

Has anyone had success with pre-seed lubricant? I’m so worried it will mess things up.

This is a blood pregnancy test

#10DPO
I DID A REGULAR PREGNANCY TEST (IN COMMENTS) AND THIS IS THE RESULT BUT ALSO I DID A BLOOD PREGNANCY TEST AND BOTH ARE THE HAVING RESULT PRETTY SIMILAR ON MY EYES , BOTH WAS IN THE FRAME TIME ,

Can you tell me what do you see? Thank you so much.

Is this a positive?

I’m 11 dpo and honestly in disbelief it. It took me a full year to conceive our first, and this was our first time trying for our second. 🥹

Trying not to get too excited yet…
