So when I was 23weeks pregnant, my partner at the time (now ex) got sent to prison for fraud.! Only 11months after he had got out of prison for the same thing! This time he got 3years 10months! (I wasn't with him the first time!) anyways. During prison I stayed with him! Until he send me 3 letters saying he wanted HIS fresh start.!! In Scotland (where his family live) I'm in east England! (I have kept these letter) and he didn't want to bring our daughter down! He's now out of prison after doing 2 and abit years! (Let out on Good behaviour) I have been in contact with him serval times, about seeing his daughter as he didn't move to Scotland! In fact I found out he's living 10mins down the road! 😡 but he's arranged to meet our daughter 3timez! And never shewup! Even tho I traveled for him' and waited with our daughter to be stood up! After this I stopped contacting him' I then contacted him 3weeks ago! About meeting! When then again me having to message him! He said yes then blocked me on FB! I have just had enough! My daughters 3 this year! And It's so unfair! Thankfully she's never known his as dad! And I haven't said we are meeting daddy! As I had doubts he would show! But does anyone know if I can apply for full custody of my daughter? He's not on the birth certificate! But I want to reinsurer myself he won't be crafty in the future and lie to my daughter :/ I just want something in writing to make sure he doesn't take her! Or apply to be on birth certificate then take her! (As he's threatened before) does anyone know what I can do? Or apply for to make sure this won't happen! Thanks

Go onto google and find a solicitor near you that offers a free consultation. They will give you good advice.

He doesn't have any rights that can be enforced currently as not on the birth certificate.

He would have to take you to court.

Keep all communication. If you have deleted it already then get a notebook and write it down as a record.

I agree he has no pr at the minute.

He could apply to court at Pr but at that point get a residency order to ensure he can’t take him.

At this point I would block all contact. I doubt he would go through the court process as he can’t even be bothered to turn up and meet her.
