No you can't take his name of the birth certificate. Even if his name wasn't on it the CSA has the right to know his name so he can support his child instead of me.

" All the child maintenance collected by the CSA will be paid in full to the parent with care. Parents with care who receive income-related benefits must declare any maintenance they receive to Jobcentre Plus. Since 27 October 2008, all parents with care who receive income-related benefits are allowed to keep up to �20 per week of child maintenance in addition to their benefits."

there is how to contact them

How much they charge the parent depends on how much they earn.

Any income (whether through csa or private arrangement) is taken into consideration when applying for means tested benefits

Is the person on the birth certificate the dad? if so, why would you want to take it off? does the dad want contact? Although maintenance and visitation should be seperate issues, are you really saying you want the father to pay for the child, but not allowed to be aknowledged as the father OR see the child or have any contact with them? I cant imagine anyone swallowing that to be honest!
