you can change his name by deed poll... dont think you can take the 'fathers' name off the birth certificate though
i'm sorry that this will sound harsh, but shouldn't you have made sure you knew who the father was before putting any name on the birth certificate?
Nini - how long does a dna test take?
i have no idea ummmmm - but i certainly wouldn't go just taking a guess at the identity of my baby's father if i couldn't remember who i'd been sleeping with at the time....
I think that while you do not know the ins and outs, the if, buts and whys....it might be an idea not to be so judgmental.
Nini74, can hardly see you sat astride that very high horse.
i'm not on my high horse at all, i would just have thought that it would be easier to get the dna test done and then add the correct father's name to the birth certificate rather than take a guess, get it wrong and have to have the name removed and change a child's surname - bearing in mind that the child or baby is probably now registered with GP, possibly school or nursery etc under the wrong surname now.
Seems all too common that women dont know who the fathers of their children are.
Changing names with GP's and schools is no bother. You don't have to produce a birth cert to do that.

My point is still valid though....unless you know the story....you can't judge.
No Teddy - In 2011 we have dna testing.....
Cant say i know anyone who has Dna tested their children.I thought that was mainly used by people on the jeremy kyle show?
i don't think i was being particularly judgmental - cinnamon asked how to remove the name from the certificate as a dna test has shown that the name she put on the certificate turns out not to have been the father - am i wrong to have a view that this information should have been checked before the registration? perhaps i'm a little old-fashioned - but not judgmental..
I think it's used else where Teddy....

Nina - I think the point is, that wasn't the question that was asked. You're giving your opinion on something when it wasn't asked for.
Possibly it is.But i still dont know anyone who has used a Dna test.Do you?
No, I don't. Well, not that they've told me. I do know plenty of people who might need one if the 'accidently' fell pregnant...
Accidentally , and fall, arent words i would relate to pregnancy.But i possibly have higher standards than some people?
i love how people are so quick to judge on here ... might repost my question as please judge me on this lol .. just answer the question or shut up folks lol
oh and ummmmm :) agree with everything u say on this
Maybe....maybe you have higher standards, or maybe you didn't get the opportunity. Who knows eh?
