birth certificate

Ok so my babys real dad is in jail for murder (never knew until after i was pregnant) and to top it all off its for murdering his 8week old baby, to his past girlfriend. I am now with my fiance, and happy. I dont want to put the real dad on the cert. Is there anyway i can put my partner on? I know it sounds horrid to want to lie but i want to give my baby the best start and dont want her reall dad to be apart of who she is. Can i say i cheated and that my nw partner is her reall dad. ?

Depends if you were married to bio dad. Its also very illegal and highly unethical to intentionally lie on a bc. Just leave it blank

I'd just leave it blank.

no just leave it blank , thasts all you can do

I'm not sure about Australia but around here they say its fraud, I'd leave it blank. Maybe in the future your current can adopt your child? If the circumstances prove favorable.

Umm... bad idea. I wouldn't have either one sign it. Maybe after you two get married, your husband could adopt your child.

Quoting Amberchik78:" Depends if you were married to bio dad. Its also very illegal and highly unethical to intentionally lie on a bc. Just leave it blank"

 

Yeah, i know. Just wish it could be simple and just erase him out. And no i was never married to her reall dad. Just dated

You could but i wouldnt recommend lying on a document like that. The hospital i delivered at said we didnt have to list the father on the birth cert BUT it wouldnt be a valid document until we did. Maybe ask ur hospital if u have to name the father.

Sweetie that's fraud. It dose not hurt anything now but if somehow its found out you lied in the future that could be serious repercussions.
I believe if you have no idea who the father is you can put unavailable that's what my niece has. Because the first 3 years she had no idea who the father was.

I do not have a father on my first sons birth cert, I had toyed with the idea of just putting DH on it but decided against it. DH and I are going to start the adoption process this year.

Considering how heinous the crime was and the fact BD is in jail it should be no problem at all to have his rights relinquished and have SO adopt once he has married you. But I am not a lawyer so I'm not entirely sure.

n australia you should leave it blank . so that if you marry after three years your defacto can adopt and then you can change his or her last name to step father.

i wouldn't put anyother name on the birth certificate, other than yours. you could put s/o's on it (they wouldn't know he's not the biological father) but then if you 2 ever break up, he'll be the one smurfed over for child support.

have a friend she put her bf name she with now on the birth certificate because the real daddy didn’t have anything to do with the baby.

This is a very hard situation and I applaud your bravery. First of all, he is a disgusting human being and it is NOT immoral (No clue about illegal but I cant imagine why it would be - its YOUR decision! PLUS the man KILLED a child!) to want to forget a person who has MURDERED a BABY! I applaud you for not being a dumbass and sticking with him. I would either leave it blank or check on your options and think things through. I would leave it blank, but it depends on what you want.
