re: birth certificate

IDK about in Australia but there is this affidavit that your new man can sign basically stating that he knows hes not the bio dad but he will be the dad. You can try to get this signed at a lawyers office before the baby is born in order to put him on the bc. Or have him sign it after the baby is born and just have a new bc drawn up.
Something you can look in to.
Hope all works out for you.
Also, since you don't want her bio dad having anything to do with her look into how you can have parental rights revoked. That may also help with your new guy being put on the bc.

Sounds like the best idea so far!

Thank u all, ive decided to hopefully speak to a lawer before she is born and see what the laws are on this and if i can push it, yeah the reall dad is discusting and i hope he stays in jail the rest of his life, whT he did to his son is horriable and discusting. . Do any of yous know any rights he has? Over her ? And what about his family. They are all as bad as him and have stolen money that was ment for her, and his mum and family have threatened me saying that if i dont let them see her they will tell child safty ima bad mum and all other rubbish. Do they have any right to see her?

Talk to your lawyer. I know here that if the father has no parental rights then that also abolishes the grandparent rights. Most of the time anyway.

I would just give your baby your last name and not worry about BD right now and have your fiance adopt your baby later on... one of my bestfriends had her girls and the BD disappeared.. she didn't put his name, just hers and her last name.. he's tried to get them back since & hasn't been able to #1 because his name isn't on the certificate an #2 because he disappeared for 6 years. you can't change who the BD is, but you can make it better by not even having his name on there.. it could cause problems for your child later on when they want to find him only to figure out what he did.. which could hurt them more than anything..

Yeah, i worry about her finding out when shes older. Having to go throw it, and knowing what he did. I wish he would just never return and never try to be apart of her life. But he keeps saying shes my blood blah blah blah. He doesnt actually care about her he just wants to make it hard for me.

Sorry i feel like a douche for calling her a him =/ I would just cut ties with him.. change your number if you have to.. he has no rights to your baby, especially since he's in jail!! they're not going to let him anywhere near your baby... i would even go so far as to have a restraining order if you have to.. whatever you can to keep him away.. the ONLY way he can prove paternity is if you agree to a test... i know in the state of nc if you're not married you're considered a single mother and the father has no rights to touch the baby unless you agree to a paternity test.. i'm not sure how it works where you are, but you could always look up the laws on it just to familiarize yourself with it.. but honestly if he's been proven guilty for murder i doubt he will have a chance to be out anytime soon.. i would make sure he doesn't know her name as well or your maiden name (if he doesnt already) so he can't try to find her.

You can put whoever you want on there.... but if you two split up, he would then be liable for child support and could go for custody of the child.
