Get A Name Off A Birth Certificate That Isn't Father

[Krumatic]

I have this man that is on the birth certificate of my child and we both have known from the start that she is not his biologic child. He has been completely avoiding a paternity test and i need one help on how to go about getting a court ordered paternity test so it cause his name to be taken off that document.
PLEASE HELP

Does he pay maintenance?

I think you'll need to see a solicitor.

As ummmm says, you'd better see a solicitor.

According to Gov website :-

"Warning: Any person who deliberately gives false information for the registration of a birth may be prosecuted. Important Information :-
Parental Responsibility is acquired automatically by the mother and, where he is married to or in a civil partnership with the mother, the father. A father, who is neither married to or in a civil partnership with the mother, will acquire parental responsibility when the birth is registered or re-registered to include his details after he and the mother have acknowledged his paternity. Once parental responsibility is acquired, only a court can remove it. If you require further information, you may wish to contact Family Lives on 0808 800 2222 or seek legal advice."

Re-registering seems to be a bit of a minefield, so I suggest you follow the advice from ummmm and jno, or try the Family Lives number above.

P.S. We do have some legal experts in Answerbank who may well give you a better idea later on.

I was just thinking Krumatic should demand maintenance. That might make him take the test.

Yes, that's a good idea.
