Domestic abuse and birth certificate

my ex boyfriend (bd) is abusive and has been since early in the relationship we had. I got pregnant when we broke up and he was born last month. I didn’t have anything to do with him as he made my life a living hell. Now baby is here he’s just as bad and trying to control everything. He is a recovering drug addict and is just a straight up horrible person. He is good with baby (as he has another child who is older) but towards me is a different story
I didn’t put him on the birth certificate, I never not allow him to see his child and try make as much effort as possible for them to spend time together. He’s saying he’s going to take me to court to get his name on the birth certificate and get parental rights which I really want to try avoid as it will effect me more in the long run as he will use this to control me more.
Ive had to go through csa for child maintenance because he’s said he’s using the money he’s meant to send me to save for court.
I would just like to know if he definitely can get put on the birth certificate since it will be a abuse case or will they put him on no matter the circumstances

I know most people will think he needs to be on there but he’s known to smoke drugs around his other child and he will be abusive to me in front of his other child and mine, there is a list of reasons why he’s not on there but it’s a choice to protect me and my baby

Yes if he is biologically the father he will go on the BC, regardless of abuse.

If it's proved he is the father then he will go on the birth certificate.

Do you really think he'll be able to save enough to take you to court though? It might be an empty threat.

You should speak to womens aid.

I’m not sure if it’s an empty threat but I hope it is. If he did it will take a long time for him to save up but his parents could also help him out which they have been doing since he lost his jobs and is now on Universal Credit.
I will look into woman's aid thank you!
