I have got a friend who is pregnant, her and her bf have split and he is being awful to her.... anyway, she is under the impression that if his name is not on the certificate, he cannot have any parental rights?
Is this true?

My ex had a nightmare tryin to get parental responsibility and his name was on the birth certificates but thats what that new law come in for im sure if the name is on then the father gets automatic responsibility and so he should if u ask me...
only the father himself can put himself on the birth certificate.
He wont have parental rights unless hes on the birth certificate tbh.
can it work the other way too though? can women put anyone they want on it if they are present? having never registered a birth i wouldn't know!
Also, if a couple are married, but the child isnt her husbands, then she could still register him as the father, even if he wasnt present.
just been though this myself
if the dad is on the certificate he gets half right
but if left off no he dont get any
and if a child does not see his dad for 3 yrs and over he can get deneyd it to
hope this helps icequeen
lifes a bitch so am i
its unlikely that any judge would let this happen. im sure your mate could prove she was a fit mother if push came to shove - the only way a judge would grant him and his mother custody was if they could prove she was unfit to be a mum.
