Birth certificate

My baby dad’s been trying to pressure for me to put him on the birth certificate or do paternity so he can take FMLA and not use it for our 2 month old. What’s the difference between adding him to the birth certificate and paternity? The point is I don’t want him having rights. He’s turned into a trash human since I’ve had the baby. Lots of drinking and driving and gambling problems. What do I need to know?

I wouldn’t do it if that’s what he wants it for. That’s sad, idk what the difference is. Maybe if he’s using the fmla to get help then maybe I would be there’s no guarantee on keeping his word for that

No don’t let him

Is this something he can fight in court for?

Yes he can fight in court for it unfortunately

Yup if he wants to take you to court, he can. The difference is you add him willingly or he makes you add him by the court because he will take a test that proves he is the father

He can fight it in court. But doing so, he will most likely be required to pay child support.

Is he threatening to take you to court if you don't do either? Cuz fuck him. That's disrespectful. Has he even been around?

@Monica no he hasn’t been around. He’s upset because he doesn’t get his time. But I’ve never once stopped him from coming to see our son.

@Amie yeah he’s to broke to buy diapers supposedly so I’m not sure he will continue to fight in court when he learns that. Right now he doesn’t pay anything. He sees my son Once a week for an hour at a time because that’s what he wants

He complains he wants more time but chooses to only spend an hour a week with the boy. Document. If he goes to court trying to have baby even when he will never be around. I hope your court system is better in the state you're in than in MO. my BD was never around and didn't pay for anything. Agreed that me moving states with dtr would be good. Then when I was at work on my last week he took my dtr and all of our stuff. There was literally nothing I could do about it since we were not married and there was no custody agreement. even though he kidnapped our dtr. He didn't let me see or talk to her for a year. When I finally was able to take him to court they gave her to him. Even though I had multiple 3 inch binders full of evidence to prove he is not fit and he will not be there and he will not be cooperative as he had not been up until that point. Sorry to say this but I was literally the only light skinned and only woman in that room. My BD is black. Judge black. Lawyer was black and literally retiring.

And don't let him get away with speaking to the judge before the initial meeting either. That's illegal and can get the judge dismissed or whatever off the case. My lawyer sucked. Did not help me fight for custody when I kept trying my hardest. Everyone already made a decision that I wasn't gonna have my dtr even though it was me and my family who was caring fkr her for 6 years on our own and he decided to take her from us. My grandparents let him take her because they're old white people who are racist is a way where they thought "oh his family would come and harm us if we didn't let them take her". She could have called me. Called the cops. But didn't. Let him take her and all of the stuff. I didn't find out until I got home that night from working.

So DO NOT let anything like this happen. Make sure you have the RIGHT support system. Make sure you even contact the local police department to let them know what's going on. They can't do anything but at least it's recorded and documented. So you can reference their recorded call from you.
