Am I able to get my partners name on my daughters B Certificate?
|
Basically, was with bio for 1 year, whole time was physically, emotionally, verbally abusing, while I was pregnant he has choked me, bruised me, and I have charged him for 2 counts of Assault, and I have a Violence Restraining Order against him.
I left him when I was just 3 months pregnant after a physical incident while I was pregnant, I managed the courage to pack up my things and never see him again. Since then we were in contact for 5-6 months VIA POST, and within this time I gave him a chance for him to get councilling, get off Alcohol & Drugs. He promised me and I was waiting for reciepts from him to prove to me that he was seeing professionals to help him with his lost ways.
No effort was taken, and I chose to stop having contact with him after he told me He felt like he was "On parol" and "making him jump through alot of hoops" when he promised me so many things and he would be a good person and we fit to share custody of our bio child together.
A year and a half has now passed and I have met a fantastic man whom I will be marrying. He is so great with my daughter and she even calls him dad.
I have had no effort from bio since, only thing was that he took me to court to try and cancel the restraining order when i was 39 weeks pregnant (He always makes sure he gets me at my most vulnerable point) So that I wuld not show up....therefore, the order would be cancelled. But I showed up, and not surprisingly he never showed up.
Bio has previous convictions to his other Ex gf, whom he has a child with - No custody, pays no child support and is extremely vengeful of.
Now I am another one on his list. I am scared of him and I worry every single day if he is going to find me.
He has an extended violent convictions against people, police men, many many traffic fines and convictions, violence against ex girlfriends including me.
My question is;
Am I able to get my partners name on her certificate (He wants to adopt her after we are married)
Bio fathers name is NOT on the Birth Certificate.
Am I able to get court decision for my partner to be allowed rights to my child. I am aware that I may have to go through paternity tests for the bio but he may not give up his rights once he has them.
What chance and research will go into his past to prove that he is unstable to provide and care for this child if he is allowed shared custody.
I seriously think he is the type to kidnap her and kill her, then kill himself, Just like those stories you see on TV. This man has great potential of doing so.
Help me, please! Additional Details Thanks for your answers.
I do have photographic proof, statements I writ to the Police, and statements from the Ex gf, and 2 witnesses of Physical and Verbal abuse by friends that lived with him.
But even though I have this evidence will they still grant him a chance to get his act together before they make a decision to weather they decide on unstable matters on his half?

Some of this depends on the state in which you live. But here is the blanket version. I don't care if your ex is serving a life sentence in prison for murder, he still has to waive his paternal rights in order for your new husband to legally adopt your daughter. It would be in your best interest to hire a family law attorney and proceed from there.
I say "most states" because there are a few which, since the father's name is not on the birth certificate, and you presumably have sole custody with a current restraining order against him protecting both you and your daughter, will grant guardianship to your new husband.
Regardless, the burden of proof will fall on you and your attorney to prove that the biological father cannot properly care for your daughter, and may be a danger to her if allowed unsupervised visitation. The court won't do the research for you. In other words, you need to compile all of your documentation, write down everything he said or did to you that can be construed as a threat, and try to get eyewitness accounts of your ex's temper, in writing. |

No. That would be falsifiying a government document and illegal.
Oh, wait a minute - they do that when they amend adoptee's certificates! hmmmm |

Another child with a falsified birth certificate just to passify the adult's wants and desires.
Dear Lord Jesus, when will it end? When will all children and human beings be given the right to their true and accurate information? Is this dream even possible? Thank you, Amen. |

I doubt it, because it's a legal document, but he could adopt... |

I have always heard that if the name doesn't go on the b/c at the time then it takes a paternity test to get it on later. so you might be outta luck for now. After you've been married for a year or two your new husband could apply to adopt though. and get on the b/c. |

Since there is no name currently on birth certificate and he wasnt there at birth you could just call hospital and see if you could redo one with his info as fathers saying all that you said here or you could see about him legally adopting her since the biological is not around and also just tell the courts that you do not know where he is that he never contacted you after you left or say your afraid to be around him bc of this but you would have to then do dna and prove him unfit to be a father courts nowadays are favoring parents the bio ones to be a part of childs life. |
