Im pregnant the 4th time. The first 3 were with my ex-husband but they ended in miscarriges\stillbirths around the 5th month (problems with his sperm mobility and health, my body rejected them. 3 docs checked me out, prob not mine). After my divorce a good friend, who lives in another country, and I decided to go a bit further in our relationship and I became pregnant. Great to say I am not having any simular past problems and my little girl, is super healthy, waiting to be born. Anyway things have happened and the father cant stay in the country to help me and we found we are not right for marriage or life together. Though he wants to be on the birth certificate, he can not afford to pay a large sum of child support due to the currency exchange rate . If I put him on it and sign up on any goverment subsidized programs (i lost my job to downsizing and cant get a new one so close to my due date and my ex stuck me with tons of bills) Will they come after him for child suppport?

Give the baby his last name but don't put his name on the birth certificate but even if you do put his name on there and you two are not married it will not officially be put on the birth certicate until he signs papers saying the child is his.
If you sign up for welfare/foodstamps just say he pays so much every month so they won't go after him, say you two have an arrangement that he pays 100 bucks a month -you know something like that

It doesn't matter if his name is on the birth certificate or not. If you apply for any government programs, and you certainly have the right that's what they are there for, you have to give them the name of the father. I don't know how in the world the state would go after him for child support in another country though, I think that would be nearly impossible. We have enough trouble going after murderers who skip the country, I'm not sure how hard they would even try for child support.

If he is on the birth certificate they certainly will go after him for child support, especially if you get welfare, the government will be looking to him to pay whatever funds you get from welfare back.

Not automatically. They should ask you if you would like to go for chidl support, but I do not think it is an automatic thing. At least, in my brothers case it was not. Same with my brother in laws.

If u want to get help from the govt. for example tanf or anything like that i'd be prepared for them to ask you for the fathers name because it happened in my case.

Just leave his name off and alleviate any problems altogether.
