Just finding out some info for someone.
If the fathers name is not on his child's birth cert does he still have to pay for child support, I didn't think you have to.

:yes:
In my case because that means he has less of his giro to spend on weed/beer and vinyl!! My sons father is quite happy to call himself Dad, but shirks any of the financial and emotional responsibilities unfortunately
Anyhow, if the father isn't on the birth certificate it doesn't seem to make a lot of difference. *I think* If there is any doubt over the father of the child, he will be DNA tested and should he be proved to be the father the payments will be backdated to the date the mother made the claim.
because hes a waste of space man....:mad:
my kids dad is good with them but gives me fuck all towards there keep ,,he used to,then it stopped due to reasons beyond his control and it just never started again.:mad:
It's quite a strange one, I think she was just with him for the child.

Hope that helps
Ok, no offense to your friend or whatever, but if she's trying to get money out of him, the least she can do is let him see the kid once in a while (unless of course he's a paedophile or something, obv.). He's the father, not just a wallet. And if he wants to see the kid, yay!! Some men don't even wanna see their kids.
