well they can demand, but if you are not married then you have that choice. if you want to or not. if they are not then they have no rights to that child and they cant get a passport for them only you.

In Australia; a father can apply to go on a birth certificate by lodging his own birth certificate application. The Register of Births, Deaths & Marriages then contacts parents to initiate a solution to this. Even if the mother denies the child as being that mans child, a DNA test etc would be carried out to verify paternity. It may work similar, just get a birth certificate application form to register the baby.

I like this question and although I dont have an answer I think it has a deeper question on what the rights of a father should be.
Such as if an abortion is taking place shouldnt the father have a legal say in what happens. Should a father have a legal right to be on a birth certificate, Should a father have a legal right to gain full custody over everyone else if the mother gives up or loses custody.

I don't know what state you live in, but in Florida, you can name any man you want as the father, but you can not put a man on the birth certificate as the father unless you are married! If you are in the process of a divorce and have been separated for 2 years, but are still married to the other man, even though he is not the father, you can only name him as the father, because you are married! I hope this helps! Good luck and God bless!

I think that the father of your child should be put on the birth certificate and that you should not have any problems with him wanting to be apart of your child's life. The only reason that I can think of that you would not want his name on the birth certificate is because you don't think that he is the biological father of your child.

They can, socially. Legally, no stand point unless they are the legal guardian.
If the mother and father are not married the father does not go onto the birth certificate by default.

yea they can...times have changed when they used to take the first father looking type and add them to the certificate now with more single mothers i guess the mother can opt out of having the father on there or not. but if a father wants to be there shouldn't be a problem with that

Only if your married - he can also go down and name the child without you. If your not he has no rights. If he goes down with you to the register office, the registrar will not take any notice of the father, because as far as their concerned he could be anybody(meaning he's no proof he's fathered the child as you have no marriage certificate).

My son was born out of wedlock 15 yrs. ago (he lives w/ me his Dad) at the time, the hospital would gladly welcome ANYONE'S name as father on the birth certificate! Can't understand how a Father has to demand!

Depends on the country and whether they are married to the mother.
In Ireland, a father who is not married to the mother of his children has no legal standing and can demand all he wants he won't be getting anything.
