[Younglutonmum]

Though all you fellow single mums/mums to be would be interested to read about a proposed law change regarding the naming of your babys father on the birth certificate. I'm livid about it!!

Ummm that is a tad bit interfering, don't you think??? I'm glad they don't have that here.

Wow!!!!

 

[missjacey44]

What if you dont know who the father is.. (not that i dont lol just asking)

 

[lorrilou]

they say u have to prove you dont know who the father is!! how the hell do you do that?!!!!

 

[missjacey44]

LOL you wouldnt be able to prove it would you =S

 

[carries]

That is such a load of crap!!!! The article, not you hun!) There is no way they will ever do that hun, I remember reading something similar to this just before the law changes came in 2003 (automatic parental responsibility for fathers if they are named on the birth certificate). It would be impossible to police and runs sooooo many Human rights risks all for thr 50,000 (so that article says) that are left blank every year.

It is in the daily mail though which is a tory paper and labour are in government so they are constatntly trying to undermine the other.

They can't add a fathers name without the father being present though?? If they start doing that there could be alot of false birth certificates and alot of false claims for child support. Then again saying that the CSA will chase a guy without even having a birth certificate or DNA test to prove he is the father (happening to my bro, the girl has finally admitted he isn't name on the cert and he is 1 of 5 guys that could be the father)

apparently if the father isnt present for signing the certificate, they will ask the mother the name and any other details of the father and they will be "obliged" (their words lol) to contact him and get him to sign it. this law has apparently been passed and coming into effect this autumn ! X

 

[Wobbles]

while those who say they do not know the father’s identity would have to persuade the registrar they are telling the truth

Thats bang out of order & crossing the line imo as it intrudes in to personal life/life styles and you'd be sat feeling judged!! Not only that the woman can lie which causes more choas & theres other reasons why this is damn right outragous one being abusive situations.

This country is turning in to a joke!

 

[Younglutonmum]

So what about those who have already had children & not put fathers details in?? Are they going to chase us all up & ask for fathers details??

 

[angels330]

it would be ridiculous if they think they can actually do that! i was wondering the same thing but its not likely surely.

 

[Younglutonmum]

Id seriously leave the country if they made me put sperm doners details on!!

Tell them it was a holiday fling with a hot young lad called Carlos, what are they going to do? Insist you go back to Club Tropicana and hunt him down? I doubt it!

I will actually do this if they try & make me hand over sperm doners details!!

Mmmmm Carlos!!

If you said it was a holiday fling they may ask for proof you went abroad! If you ask me its just another way to intrude in our personal lives. Besides, frankly it doesn't help the children, sure they know who their father is atleast by name but are you then supposed to tell your child that he acknowledges you exist but doesn't want to know you?

Exactly. I dread the day Maya asks about her dad & I have to tell her that yes he knows you exsist but he doesn't want to know you
