    Default Re: Birth Certificates and Father's Rights

    How can you prove abandonment unless you have proven who the father is and show that he knowingly and intentionally abandoned the child? Until that time, she could make whatever claim she wants but it has no support as truthful.

    How about I amend my response to:


    depending on the circumstances, it may be possible.

    While accurate, I simply felt that was a bit misleading. There is generally much more to it than that.

    Nothing has to happen the instant the child is born. It would not hurt to wait for some period of time to see what the father does. Personally, I believe it is always better to have both parents known. After all, he is the father and legally, once that is established, he has the same rights as you to be a parent.

    If you seek state aid, you will be required to allow paternity to be established as the state will require dad to pay child support. Not inferring this is your intent, just tossing it in for knowledge.
