custody questions
So, I'm almost due. The baby's father is having his mom harass me and threaten me simply because he has no transportation to see the baby, that they're denying, and expects me to stop my life and move about 30 min away to live with them just so he can see the baby. I know, according to the law here, he has no rights or visitation since we're not married. Would it be wrong or illegal if I don't list him on the birth certificate or even not tell him even I go to the hospital to have her?
I really appreciate your responses. I just want to do what's right for my unborn child. She's not even here yet and they're causing all of this. I'm just afraid of what they'll do when she actually gets here.
No.. From my understanding he has to be at the hospital for you to put his name on the certificate. Both of them will get over it. And how could he even try to file some type of custody if he don't hAve a car
Even with my fiance listed on our daughter's birth certificate he has no legal right to her. It gives him a leg up in court if anything should ever happen to us but I have sole custody of her.
In Arkansas my state no hospital will list a father if they are not married. He will have to go to court and get a DNA then he will have to pay child support. My 4 yr old his (sd) is not listed and has no rights to him.
No its not illegal but if and when his family decides to take you to court and get paternity the father WILL be on the birth certificate and have rights to his child.
No right to ask you to move. If he wants to see her he can move...
Gxok hit that nail on the head tell his mom to go suck it lmao if he wants to be involved he can move! That would cause all kinds of unnecessary stress on you right now. And you want to bring your baby home to his or her home not some strange place that mommy's not even comfy in.
No. Absolutely not wrong.
When you go into labour you need LOVE, SUPPORT & SECURITY.
He or his mother doesn't seem to offer these things with threats.
If it is important for him to see his baby he will find a way to arrange transportation.
This, is dimply not your issue.
Although it is generous offer to move in with them, they cannot expect you to bend over backeards to suit their needs.
You and your baby comes first.
Stay strong and stick to your guns.

And when u send in for the BC, u leave his section blank. When an unmarried couple have a child, it's the sole decision of the father in question, whether or not he wants to sign the paper claiming paternity....if he's there....
Nope. U can just as easily say u don't know who the father is. The hospital doesn't force u to list a father. They don't care. It's not their job. If he wants involvement, he'll have to pay for a dna test and a lawyer and any court costs.
