Can bd visit hospital without having to put his name on birth certificate?

It’s all your choice! He can be in the room you can say he’s the father and choose time not out his name on the list. If you don’t want anyone in the room including him you don’t have too! Also check your state laws, I recently found out in ga if you have a baby out of wedlock, even if the dads name is in the birth certificate. They technically have no rights to the child! And have to go to court to get them legitimized!
My bd visited me and didn’t sign the birth certificate he gave me a very hard time while I was pregnant & I knew since early in my pregnancy he would not be going on the birth certificate and it was honestly the best decision I EVER made!!
@Juli that’s what I want to do but I have a feeling he wants to come to sign it or put his last name
So he if wasn’t around and giving you trouble the WHOLE 9 months why do you want him at the hospital???? Bc if he comes the same day the person comes with the forms any father whether he’s active or not is gonna want to sign them forms.
Girl, I had him there but did not have him sign birth certificate. I just kinda got up 2 days later and walked it over to the nurses section
You can say that you already gave the papers in or hide them honestly until he is gone, my bd came to the hospital, he isn’t on the birth certificate
@Daria just out of curiosity and also cos I’d like to do the same - did they not give you the birth certificate in front of him? Like how did this work for you? I’d really like to hopefully do the same but kinda worried it’ll be impossible to if he’s there at the hospital 😫
Yea.
@Dion you would have to ask when you get there not to give them to you in front of him.
@Nuni they already gave me the forms so I don’t have to show it to him but idk if he will mention it
The comment above yours said to tell the nurses not give it to you in front of him but idk i just wouldn’t allow him to be there since he was trouble your whole pregnancy! Save yourself a lil bit of stress
I had to not have my bd come at all. I asked them to keep me private and they did. So no one even was allowed to know what room I was in without saying a code word. It wasn't worth the worry because as you said my bd as well was being sometype of way about papers and last names. Threats n shit.
He can cut the cord and you still opt to not put him on the certificate

@Dominique: Hr_Bae_Dom okay.. are you the OP? Cause I didn’t read any comments. But none the less, the point of my comment is that he can be there in as much capacity as you’d like (full or none) and you still not put him on the birth certificate.
@Macdalia pretty much
@Dion I got all the papers the next morning I had the baby but he didn’t come until the next day so day 2 of me being in the hospital, only reason he wasn’t on the birth certificate was because he thought it wasn’t his baby (he was just being pain in the butt, and yes he was)
@Cassie unfortunately in Australia from what I’ve heard is that they push for the father’s to be on the birth certificate whether we want them to or not. The only exceptions are like extremely bad situations like dv or something worse. A friend of mine had to write and sign a stat dec w the police just bc she didn’t have the father mentioned on it. Idk shit’s crazy 😅 but definitely hoping that’s an option that I can go with
That’s is your decision, he isn’t on birth certificate he has no rights and you can say no
