@ileanasmami0625, just wanted to give you a heads up so you're not misinformed. Also, in florida child support and custody (family court) are two different things. If he goes for visitation they will make him pay but if he goes for child support then he will still need to file for custody seperately. Also, if he doesn't sign the birth certificate he will need to pay for a Paternity test.

@ileanasmami0625, that's not true. they do not automatically get their fathers last name. not in florida atleast. He will have to file for a name change and the only thing they will do is hyphenate the name.

Bol, trust me I understand...they take you there.

I don't think that's fully correct because my nephews father pays child support and does not have his fathers last name..but I do see what your saying.. to be honest ..I just rather not have him in my life at all to be honest... at this moment..I can not kill him with kindness..I'm not strong enough.. I more want to strangle the crap out of him and slap him around a couple times.. @santanna86

Once you put him on child support the baby automatically gets his last name and his name goes on the certificate. With child support you will be the custodial parent and he will be the non custodial parent. You have full custody but he also has rights until he fully signs them over. Don't know your situation but in my experience be the bigger person, and kill him with kindness. You don't wanna second guess or question yourself about a decision you made while being mad/upset.

You shouldn't let him, but I know it's a hard decision. It'll be a smack in the face for him and maybe that's what he needs

I didn't let my baby daddy know when his son was born. He left me when I was like 14 weeks and hadn't spoke to me at all until he knew I was about to have him so I didn't tell him and now my son has my name :) ... And he left us again lol but it's for the better

you're so right! @mommy2b558

You dont have have to put him on the birth certificate even if he's there. All that is up to you mama! your mom.

Nope he doesn't have to if you don't want him too

Why should he get that damn privilege? ?????? he didn't care about you guys the whole time! I'm sorry but my ex hurt me so bad this pregnancy and stressed me and this baby out so much. I love myself and this baby way to much to allow him to even get that experience. he isn't worthy

really??? ughhh..I thought he had to sign it if he was there.. damn..now I don't know what to do?.. I just really don't wanna be a dick..I'm too kind hearted.. @lovebuggg2016

he's saying he's going to fight for partial custody..but I don't want to ask him for shit..I didn't everything myself this whole pregnancy.. he was just worrying about weed..and other females.. that's why we aren't together... I just would feel like a dick with this being his first child and him not seeing her be born ...@cubanese, @mommy2b558

If you're not married he can't sign unless you say so. Whether he is there or not. Plus, you fill all the paper work out when you go into labor so if he comes later he wouldn't know

I'm not telling him when I have the baby. I'm not letting him sign the certificate either. lol I just want him to disappear

Lmao I'm goimg through the same THING RIGHT NOW!!!!!!
