I am single and pregnant what rights does the father have to the baby?
HAHAHA, he has no chance with any of them. If you don’t want him at scans and birth, he has NO rights being there and can get done if just walking in. If you wern’t married he can see his child after but only by whatever you give him. Im experiencing this at the minute, i wasn’t married to the father and i gave him 2 hours on monday and 2 hours on friday and they are supervised by me as my child is only 4 months. The courts back the mums up 100% of the way. Don’t worry hunny, he has no right except see your baby after. And your baby’s name is completely upto you. He cannot fight you on your baby having his last name, theres no such thing.
You will have to ask social services about most of your questions but you may tell your doctor that you do not want this person near you and you may also get a restraining order against him. This person must appear threatening to you so make this point with every one. You may also ask for child support in family court. I do not think he has any naming rights because he never married you. Forget about his rights, they pale in comparison to your rights and that of the child. Please go in person to social services and family court. I am sure the hospital can keep him out. You need to do these thing soon.
In the US, you can NOT put a father’s name on the birth certificate unless he signs the paperwork or you are married. Although it sounds like he would sign the papers in the hospital, he has no rights if he is not put on the birth certificate UNTIL he proves he is the father. After he has proven paternity either because you have agreed he is the father or via a DNA test, he can request visitation through the courts. Most likely he will not be able to take baby because you will be breastfeeding, although technically you could pump (but i would fight that argument – unless you will be pumping). It may be easier to offer for him to come and spend time with the baby AFTER you come home from the hospital and avoid having a judge decide what you must do. Good Luck!!
Hello. Your child’s father will have the same rights as you when it comes to the actual child, i.e spending time with the child. As for the birth, just like any other medical procedure he would need your permission to be in the delivery room. Back to the child. If you deny him access, he could take you to court by putting himself on child support and would then be granted joint conservatorship (joint custody) with both of you guy’s rights being equal. Lastly, think about you child. Do you really want him/her to grow up not knowing the father? Pray on it.
hi there, First of all yes he can have visitation rights.To make it harder for him and costly for him is to namethe baby your last name and have father unknown on the birth certificate. You then take the paperwork to centrelink and tell them you are not sure of the babys father.If you hate this man and feel intimated by him dont give the baby his name If he is put down as the father of the baby,then his parents also can go to court and apply for visitation rights and yes they are entitled to this also I know this because i am in this situation .Yes i had the father at the birth but he is not down as the babies father.As much as it sounds like i am a ***** i would rather my child in a foster home then to be with his parents. who i wouldnt piss on if they were on fire sorry for the phrase but they are the worst humans on earth His mother actually wished that i lost the baby and didnt carry it.Then had the nerve to come to the hospital. So darl at the end of the day the ball is in your co
