What if a mother feels it is not safe for her and/or her child to reveal the name of the father?
The “good cause” exceptions for domestic abuse/violence, incest and rape are clear. Naming the father is not required if there is documented evidence that a mother and/or child could be harmed in any way. For further information, contact a hospital social worker, your local family violence shelter, or any Department of Health and Human Services TANF Office.
