If the mother of a child wishes to keep the father of the baby off of the birth certificate, can she do so? She has no good reason to do so, and is only mad at him. He hasn't done anything wrong, but she is rather hormonal right now and the smallest thigns set her off. She keeps threatening him with this to try to keep him in line, so he's trying to find out if it that's even possible. This is in Louisiana please, so I will love you if you have information pertinent to this state. If you have any website links I will love you forever!

i believe if they are not married she can so just that. but if they are married then no..better check with the courts on this one or a lawyer.. but if she does to this.. he can tell her he want pay child support until it goes to court for a DNA test.. which would be better if he did. if they are not married he has no legal rights even if his name is on it.. better to go to court and get all that .. and in writing..remember only the female knows that the child is their.. the man really dont..

Well that is an empty threat and really makes no sense. If there was ever any divorce or child support issues.... regardless of the circumstances he could say "I am not on the birth certificate". Sure it can all be proved later but it will be expensive and could hang in court forever.... oh yes I said forever.
This is the deal legalities or not. She is using this to control him and little things are setting her off? And this is when a child is involved? This says much about her all of the way around as this is now serious stuff.
On the guy end even if she puts him on the certificate he will remember this and it will fester in his brain. She feels the need to control him so what is the next form in which control will take. Just to threaten it takes away from implied trust and shows irresponsibility. Even years from now he will be thinking of it.
Kind of sounds like it is a freind. He needs to just go "fine leave me off if you want". Because it is an empty threat to leave him off. He can just squash this silly stuff and have her face reality. Then she will have lost this "power" over him. He can still claim parental rights later and meanwhile she is out child support.
She needs to get a clue as men eventually do. If the guy is smart he will end up with custody and child support. Or paying a lot less and still see his child.

Here's what I would do to find out. If you're married, she can't keep you off the birth certificate (I don't think), but I would call your town hall just to be sure. If you're not married, she can do what she wants. However, you have the right to ask for (and pay for) a paternity test. If you are the father, then you MAY get back on the birth certificate, or perhaps you'll get some other thing, like a court order, that says you are the father, and that's as good.
Sounds like you've got your hands full.

i'm nevertheless mulling this one over. i have not idea a lot about it formerly, to be honest. My first reaction, is not any. no longer even as the adoptee remains a minor. The files belong to the adoptee, with get top of entry to by utilizing the criminal mothers and fathers (which may be the adoptive mothers and fathers). i don't think of this is any distinct than the different type of privateness. i don't think of that the organic relatives might want to instantly have get top of entry to to the minor adoptee's clinical files, college files, and so on. I do imagine the danger of identity robbery is valid, yet it is not any longer the most compelling reason. even as the adoptee turns into an adult, then he/she will enable whomever he/she needs to have get top of entry to to those files. If there's a question of coersion, besides the undeniable fact that, i imagine the organic mothers and fathers must have a criminal direction accessible, with a view to get top of entry to the files. consisting of, being waiting to record a petition in a court docket of regulation. ETA: Mamakate, study up on identity robbery. you'd be shocked what someone can do with a beginning certificates.

Years ago a mother could do that but, because of the "dead beat" father issues, they no longer do that.
Why would she do that to that child?
Give her some space and when you go to see your child bring one of your parents and do not push her buttons!
We woman are very vindictive in nature and for no apparent reason. So, you are right when it comes to the hormones.
ask her if she needs you to watch the child while she sleeps? No sleep is the number 1 reason woman have postpartum and are hormonal. She may even just start crying for no reason, if this is her she's going thru postpartum depression and needs to call her doctor ASAP!
How ever she may make you upset or angry, remember she is NOT herself right now. DO NOT AGUE with her, give her space or just bite your tongue!
She maybe upset if you are NOT married to her. I'm assuming this is your child?

It is not mandatory to put a fathers name on the birth certificate in any state....If the mothers chooses to leave it blank she can.

That's not punishing the father, that's punishing her child and could have lifelong repercussions!
