How to name a father on a birth certificate
To Mr Knowitall or anyone else who can help:
I am expecting a baby soon with an ex boyfriend and biological father who I have had little contact with over the last few months. He has verbally and in writing expressed no interest in helping me in any way with the baby nor have I asked him for financial help. However, I would like to claim him as the biological father on the birth certificate for the baby's sake. I currently live in CA and he resides in the England but is an American citizen. He will also probably not be present at the birth but he has not denied paternity.
How do I go about naming him as the father at the time of birth or must the father be physically present to be named? And is this wise since I plan on raising the child myself? Does this vary by state?
I would like to claim full custody and parental rights as he has not expressed any interest.
Thanks in advance!
my babies father is coming down to sign birth certificates?
Ouir first son is four years old he hasn't sign his birth certificate due to that he lives is Puerto Rico and has never gotten on a plane, he is now coming down here to do it. In his certificate when he was born I put his last name. But is name of father is not in the certificate. Now I have a five months old baby and is from the same father he still hasn't met him or sign birth certificates he is soon coming down here all they told is to filled out a paternity paper and change the old certificate and send to jacksonville. That is wasn't a big deal. Thank you
