my god tracey, what a nutter!! think in this case its a bloody good thing he is staying out your little boy's life if thats his attitude
my ex didnt bother turning up at the registrar so he had no input. im glad because my surname is much nicer
plus i called DD Tabitha, which is what i wanted to call our 1st DD and he wouldnt let me because he hated it....well got my way this time, hope he is pissed off
I told mine through a text message (that is the only way we communicate). He texted sometime after my gender scan (boy ) and asked if the name we had chosen while we were still together was the name I was sticking with. I told him the first and middle name (FOB's middle name!) would be the same but he would have my last name. Needless to say, he was pissed off, but I know if the baby was a girl he wouldn't give a rats ass, and I didn't base my decision out of spite. I think it is in the best interest of my DD8 and my son.
I jsut told him in the middle of an argument that I was giving LO my surname & that was that. Ofc he kicked of big style but I just reminded him that he had zero legal power to stop me (in the uk, the mother has the final say) & that if he didn't like it, he didn't have to come register him with me.
He was more bothered about getting his name on LO's BC than anything else.
Biggest mistake evah!
