Parental rights?

Don’t know if I’m posting this correctly ...
new user...

Does anyone know anything about parental rights?
My child’s father changed his name by deepoll when he was younger. When we registered our daughter he did not want his original, birth certificate name on our child’s birth certificate. Does he still have parental rights?
When the lady registered our child she seemed to think it was an issue that he refused to put his previous name down and only the name he changed it to via deepoll rather than both names.

Thanks

I am not an expert in the area and have absolutely no relevant experience...

However, if he's legally changed his name and has documentation to support that I can't see why that would be an issue?

And someone is going to come along and say it's parental responsibility not right so I'm going to get in there first Grin

If he's on the birth certificate then he has parental RESPONSIBILITY (not rights)

Judges really hate it when parents are petty and try to stop contact for insignificant reasons so if you were thinking that this technical issue means you don't have to consider the wishes of the father then please think again.

Ok firstly I asked a simple question. Not being petty and trying to stop contact. I am actually trying to prove to him that he does have parental RESPONSIBILITY... I apologise for getting it wrong... he is saying he doesn't because on the child's birth certificate it says his current name and not that he was previously known as something else... so in future think before assuming the worst please!
I'll get in there before anyone else no it's not about money because I actually have never had and don't want a penny from him. I want him to actually see our child and have a relationship with our child as it is what our child wants. He is the one trying to get out of it not me!
