birth records

[wantancers81]

ok i had a son aug 14 hes birth record is already done. the dad is doing a DNA testing but thats because the law told him he had to for child supprot. the birth record only has my name on it. because i didnt want hes name on the birth record cause we are not together and we was not married or dating at the time. now the dad is saying when it does come back that hes the father hes going to put hes name on the birth record. and he is saying i cant do anything about it. now my question is can he do it with out me giving him permission. even with the birth record already done

Well I'm not sure about legally, but, morally, if I was expecting him to fulfill his responsibility by paying for his child, then I would think he has a right to be written down legally as the childs father. You can't have your cake and eat it. Think about this, when your Son is older won't it be good, or useful for medical reasons to know who is biological father is, even if someone else does the parenting job?

an entry in the register cannot be changed unless it is because the child was adopted, or because the parents married within the life of the child or a baptism name was added to the registered name within the first 12 months, i think that's right, but ring the regsiter office to double check.
as far as i am aware both parents have to attend at the time of registration if they are not married, and a certificate is issued which is a certified copy of the entry .
