    Question Removing The Father From My Son's Birth Certificate

    I have a five month old son and the guy who I named as the father when my son was born on the birth certificate does not want to be on the birth certificate anymore; and I don't want him to be on there. He wants me to say that he is not the father and at this point I agree with him and I will agree not to go after him for child support. He and I have agreed on this about taking him off of the birth certificate. The question I have is how do I go about having him permanently removed in the state of Minnesota?

    If he is in fact the father, don't expect it to happen outside of the context of adoption (e.g., step-parent adoption).

    Is they 'guy' you named on the birth certificate the bio dad? If yes, your chances of having his name removed from the BC is virtually zero.I can't imagine any judge allowing a fathers name to be removed from the birth certificate based on "the father wants his name removed and so do I." I don't think a judge would allow a TPR just to avoid child support. Some instances where he could remove his name are: 1)step parent adoption and 2)if he is not the bio-dad (even in this instance it might be hard to remove his name if the real bio dad was not found). Removing dad's name for your convenience is not fair to the child.
    Just on a side note- the child support is for the child, not you. Why would you deny your child that money (and I am a dad who pays child support).

    Ok mine is kind of the same situaton only that my sister's dad left my mom before she had my sister and since then we don't have any information about him..last thing we heard is that he had died in Mexico, because both of the parents(my mom and the guy) are native mexicans. My mom put the father's name on the birth certificate, but she has always been a single mother all her life...and whats the worst part of it is that he didn't have any family...Its like if the guy came out no where...what can we do if my sister needs permission from the father like for example if we need to get a passport...what can my mom possibly do???

    -----my sister is 12 years old about to be 13 on December and recides in California

    Did you happen to notice that this thread is 2 years old???? Now I know Aaron puts a warning on dead threads about posting... why exactly did you choose to ignore it?
