After some advice from anyone who's baby was born in Warrington.
At the time of birth me & baby's mum weren't together/married 2012
Ex partners father was an interfering pain in the bum who controlled ex's life he didn't even ring me till 6 hours after our son was born. He told ex he had but I'd not answered. Anyway he tried his best to keep me at arms length. My question is does anyone know when Warrington hospital stopped registering births? As he told me it was done automatically by hospital.& we didn't need to go and register it at registry office? Any help much appreciated 😀

If you're getting divorced, were you married at time of birth?

I think you are dwelling on something that you cannot change.

You cannot change the fact you werent at the birth.

You cannot change that you was not at registering the birth.

What you can change is what happens from now and onwards.

Many fathers dont attend the birth registration due to work commitments etc.

There is no point in over thinking or getting hung up on things that you cannot change.

Bitterness is like drinking poison but expecting the other person to die from it.

So if you go after your W and FiL and push for a prosecution, what will happen? Will your details be removed from the birth certificate? Will DD grow up with the impression that you didn't want to be on her birth certificate (so easy to blur the truth)? Will you have criminalised her mother (making it harder for her work) and will it sound like you only did it for revenge because of the divorce? Will it make you look petty and bitter?

At the moment you may feel like you want revenge and retribution, understandably so. But please do move cautiously, this is about you and your future relationship with your DD and I would be wary of jeopardising that relationship without being certain that it was the best course of action for her. She is going to find it hard enough growing up with divorced parents.

I don't see how those two breaking the law has done him a favour. I think he might benefit from seeking legal advice over this whole birth cert thing and maybe he would be able to sign a new birth cert for the child seeing as the current one is fraudulent.

Hurtdad is the child definitely yours? Would it be of any benefit to have a dna test just to make sure that she's your child before proceeding with any legal action?

I don't want a prosecution just the truth, same with the alleged affair, if she's met someone else that makes her happier then good luck to her. Just want her to have the balls to be truthful cos if she can't about these things how can I trust her regarding access? Or anything to do wiv childs future.

I registered ds' birth at the hospital on my own without dh or any ID and dh is on as father and didn't have to sign anything
It was 1989 though

Op, were you married at the time of the birth?

Hurtdad · 23/06/2016 14:50
