    Default Re: Non Biological Father Wants to Be Put on Birth Certificate

    Biological father is physically and emotionally abusive. He would push me into walls and put me in head locks knowing full and well that I was carrying a child. That's why I left and haven't had any contact with him. If he can do that to me, there is no telling what he would do to my son. He is vindictive, selfish, persuasive, and will do anything to get his way. I can't and wont have my son around that.

    And I'm pretty sure I can put my significant others name on there, I just need to know how I can do it legally.

    You can be as pretty sure as you like - it doesn't change the legalities. You and your partner would be committing paternity fraud.

    You also need to understand that hiding is not going to help you - it will help your ex, but not you. You have no proof that the child would be in danger. But let's follow that line of thinking.

    How many DV convictions does he have, pertaining to you?

    Legally, you can't. Period. A birth certificate is meant to be a record of the BIOLOGICAL parentage of the child, not a record of who you like best this week.

    Putting your current boyfriend on the birth certificate is not only paternity fraud, but completely stupid. You've known him a couple months. What happens if you break up? You think you'll get to put the next boyfriend on? He knows the child isn't his, but do you REALLY think he'll jump all over paying child support if you break up?

    I'm sorry your ex is abusive, but this is not going to solve the problem. Leave the "Father" field blank.
