hi there if the child was born after december 2003 and is named on the birth certificate he has parental responibilitie for his child and can sign anything regarding his child if the child was born before dec 2003 only the mother has parental responibilitie, as the law changed in 2003. but he can go to court to say that he wants parental responibilitie his girlfriend can go with him to say that she wishes him to half it too. i think marrige will do the same job but if they are only getting married for this reason save the expense and just go through family court
