If my baby's father is in the room when I deliver, can I prevent him from signing the birth…

Why wouldn't you want him to sign? That would prevent you from getting support in the future.

u have until the day u Nd the baby to go home to sign the birth certificate u can even ask to sign it when Nd if he leaves the hospital after she is born

just Cuz he's in the room don't mean he has to sign it

He's talking about trying to get custody of her out of spite. He doesn't actually want her and he's got a lot of issues I don't trust him alone with her. He only wants custody because he knows it would hurt me he's even told me that. I heard if he's on the birth certificate it makes it easier for him to do that @_mommyoftwinsplusone

Here in Indiana if you arent married the dad has no rights regardless if they sign it until you get a dna test proving the kid is his. I seriously wouldn't worry about it, he will have to take you to court and prove you unfit. He cant just get custody right out of the hospital.

@kelsicutie he could take you to court and get a paternity test to be put on the bc, you don't have to let him but there are other ways. Honestly girl he can't get custody, he would have to prove you unfit and a bad mother first, that wont happen so dont worry girk ❤

shiddd he doesn't have to be in the room if he wants to act that way

He lives in Kentucky and I live in Ohio so he would have to come here to file and he can't say I'm an unfit mother. I just didn't want to make it easy for him to make my life a living hell right now. I don't want to keep him away from his daughter he just doesn't have any interest in her unless he knows it will hurt me @cait.mommyto3 @hermommy @lumos.nox @anna432

@kelsicutie I understand 100% and I don't blame you one bit, honestly if you don't trust him I wouldn't put him on the B.C. either

Him signing won't make a difference. If he tries to get custody all he has to do is send off his DNA and a court order will make you submit the baby's DNA and there you have it

If it is that much drama why even let him in the room. Since he want to be an ass he can miss the experience and look at pictures later when you leave the hospital. I mean I say that because if you truly mean he might be out to harm you and your daughter even if it's emotionally torture why even give him a chance. It's no longer about the father and you not getting along it is now about the two of you raising the life y'all created or for you to do it alone.

If he wants to be on the BC he can regardless if it happens at the hospital or if he decides to take you to court. If he does take you to court, they'd do dna and then if he wants baby will get his last name. You have sole custody until he takes you to Court regardless if he signs as long as you aren't married. And even then more than likely he will only get every other weekends with her. And most the time dads wont get overnights until after baby is a year old. Also, the dad has to pay for the dna test if the kid comes back his. He's probably just testing you. I'd ignore him or simply explain to him what we told you and leave it at that. Id mention to him that the courts will have him pay for the dna test (which is 3-500 here) in order for him to have any parental rights even if he's on the BC. May make him back off a little. @kelsicutie
