My question involves paternity law for the State of: California
So question, If my child DIDNT have a birth certificate (unassisted birth) and there was no record of identity, how difficult would it be for the estranged biofather to come and get visitation?
Can I sue him for birthing costs of I go through a center? (have no insurance)
My boyfriend now is assuming responsibility for me and my unborn child and is willing to carry the role as the babies father legally and psychologically. If I do choose to give my child a birth certificate he will sign it.
I'm also considering using safe harbor just to make sure my baby is safe... I just want to protect my baby... he isn't a healthy man but he sure can make you believe he is. couldnt possibly bare the thought of him caring for my infant... Frightening
I'm scared and worried... please give me some feedback, scenerio's, options.. anything.
I need some piece of mind.
After reading this I realized how disorganized my post was.
... If my boyfriend now, signs the birth certificate (if i get one for my child) how difficult will it be for the absent biofather to come into the picture?
And with the safe harbor law, would my child be protected from being found by him?
Money isn't the issue (obviously) but it's definitely a tool I could use incase he DOES come around.. Can I sue him for pregnancy/birth costs if he decides to hunt me down and take me to court?
After being absent I am not sure he will come around, but I'm trying to be cautious and have my options available to protect my baby. Even if it requires letting him go....
