The legal standing point is that unless the father is either married to the mother at the time of birth or he is listed on the baby's birth certificate as the father he doesn't automatically have parental responsibility. In order to obtain this he would have to apply to court for an order.

Yes you are right..... If you are not married to the childs father when the child is born the father has NO parental rights whatsoever, unless he applies to the court, (he WILL then be given parental rights).... Even if the fathers name is on the birth certificate he still has to apply for parental rights

UK, US, Location should not matter. The fact of the matter is whether you are married or not, this IS the childs father. Blood runs thicker than any marriage license.

In the US, actually the only way they get out of financial responsibility is if you do not put their name on the birth certificate. Then if they want a part in the baby's life they must prove paternity.

If he was named on the Birth certificate, he has legal rights, if you listed father as "unknown" then he's have to go to court and undergo DNA testing to prove it.
