Baby dad / birth certificate

My baby dad was originally never put on our child’s birth certificate as he had Social services involved with his other children and baby mum… Him and I have now spoken to social and they have informed that he is aloud to see our child like normal as what’s going on the other end is nothing to do with me or our baby. He desperately wants to be added to the birth certificate which I would love for! But… I’m wary of this as I do not want our child around his other baby mum due to her admitting she has no care for my child and she was going to try and get him taken from me so ‘I know how it feels’ I don’t trust her around my baby, but I’m not sure once he’s on the certificate that I’ll trust he won’t go behind my back He is a good dad also, I’ve never had any questions about his parenting, more so her Feel abit lost, any suggestions?

He can petition to be added to the certificate regardless of if you agree or not if he can establish paternity through a dna test.

If you have evidence of her saying this you can file for a protection order for yourself and your child. As she’s been involved with social services and you’re worried about your child’s safety around her it probably wouldn’t be hard to get one granted. Baby daddy would need to have visitation with your child somewhere without that woman present 😊👌🏻

Do not put him on it. Very simply. Do not do it. Worst possible decision you could ever make. You grew that baby. You gave birth to that baby. And you raise that baby. You do not need him on the birth certificate for any reason what so ever. And I wouldn’t just take his side of the story regarding the other baby mother. Women protect their children for a reason. Once he has rights, he can get a court to order unsupervised contact without you and he can take that baby where ever he likes and with whoever he likes. And you will have no say and no rights to stop it.

@Incognito this is what I’m thinking, make life easier for him to not be on it, and I didn’t take his side, I had been given all official reports from the social worker which he gave permission for, but yeah I just don’t want the baby around her as I know how nasty and spiteful she was about our son before, she has a few kids her self so I wouldn’t want mine to be left out in any way, it’s just hard because they are also my child’s siblings, arghhhh so hard but I think best to keep him off :)

@Morgan it depends where you live because here in Birmingham the dad can only be put on the birth certificate if the mom agrees to it

@Shan he can make a declaration of parentage to the court and then the court will send a message and the baby will be re registered, mum has no say in it

@Morgan must be new as that’s not what I was told at 2 of the Birmingham registry offices

@Shan my dad had to do it, my original birth certificate doesn’t list a father. My mum was court ordered to agree to a DNA test and the national register’s office re registered it with his name on it
