Most of us on here are single mums, but there's a few single guys that'll pop their head in occasionally, maybe put it in the title looking for a dad's reply? In canada even if they're not on the BC they can still fight for custody.

Which is total crap why should they be part of their child's life when they are not willing to be part of the pregnancy which is just as important as what happens after the birth.

hang in there and dont stress it bad for baby. it is bull i completly agree but i also understand why they do it. some dads the baby isnt real until its actually here. For right now thou look into getting a will into place, and start doing research on what the court process is like where you are.

mommaalexis is right though even with out there name on the birth ceritifcate they can get rights, but i suggest if you plan on pursuing child support that you do put his name on because it actually makes that part easier and then hell have to pay for the paternity test should he say the childs not his and not you.

You deserve so much better

About the birth certificate, I know it changes on where you are. Where I am, if you're not married, the father has to be present when registering the birth tp be on the birth certificate.

My ex is not on the birth certificate and I do not claim maintenance xx

I was thinking about doing the same thing. I don't want any child support from him. He might actually think he is helping when he is not at all. I just want to move on and try to make my life better.
