This may sound crazy but can you bann your babys father from coming to the hospital. Firstly I want…

Yes you can! especially if your not married! my boys dad wasn't there and didn't know where or when I had the boys.

Yes, anybody you say that you don't want, they won't let back.

Yup, anyone you say you don't want to be there they will make leave.

correct you can tell them who you want in the room just let your nurses know . also if you don't want him on the birth certificate you don't have to put him on there (but he can go to court) and someone is in the room when your signing the papers to go over them with you. just let them know also if he trys to put what name he wants he can't , its all up to you honestly

@mommybump2016, if he was to take me to court to get on the birth certificate about how long will the process take?

he could go through child support to do it actually witch suxks. but from the time he files I say about a month . but if he does it that way he has to pay child support. once the judge says you have to change the name you have like 90days to do so. when I had to change my daughters last name I had to pay to do it also 😑

Wow so because it's his baby he can enforce a name change how is that so??? Omg that's terrible @mommybump2016

what state do you live in

@taityanamill, Michigan

then that is not correct Michigan is the Mommie state I just went through that with my first child anything that you say go if you don't want him at the hospital he does not have to be at the hospital if you don't want your baby to have his name he just not have to have his name they will not in force anything on you that you do not want @lynnx1800

@taityanamill, Okay omg. Good thank you because that just pushed me way back I'm trying to figure things out and already be prepared do you have full custody?

if ur not married they will not put him on birth certificate unless you both agree he's the father. and sign the voluntary paternity form... otherwise I'd say Dont even bring his name up.. until he takes you to court!!!

yes I do I have full custody of my daughter he has no right to paternity with her @lynnx1800

Ok that may just be what I do, I really don't want to be too stressed dealing with him, but then again I don't want to be selfish. @drodrigo239

@taityanamill, how did you gain full custody? Did you have to prove anything?

maybe I'm wrong since you live in a different state but in Texas I was forced to give my daughter her father's last name since he went through child support. its the judges rules since the judge had so many kids come to him saying they wanted their dads last name he made it that way , they said I could hyphen it but that would've made her name wayy to long so I didn't. but the hospital will not force you to put him on the birth certificate or make the baby have his last name.

yea, but by the hospital he has no say, about being there your not married it's not his choice it's yours...

you automatically have full custody because you're not married to him @lynnx1800

@taityanamill that's not true. my sister wasn't married to her baby daddy, and they got 50/50. you have full legal custody untill he is proven to be the father.

No.. because even if he is the father you still get to say if you want him to have rights or not.. @marissacc22

not how it works up here. you have to have valid reason. like abuse neglect.. you can't just say I don't like my babies dad so he can't be apart of its life.. that's wrong.. and that's not how courts work
