He doesn’t deserve to be in his certificate because if he doesn’t love his kid so what’s the point to be in certificate

Unfortunately you won't be able to remove him from the birth certificate now. The only way would be to prove that your child isn't biologically his but I'm guessing he his. You will need to get a court order which gives you full parental responsibility and the rights to do things like name changes and take him on holiday. It will be costly but get in touch with a family solicitor and see what your options are. Gather all the proof you have of him blocking you and not paying anything and hopefully a judge will help you out x

I’m not sure, try the courts there must be something they can do to over turn his authority, he is using the controlling card and you could put this forward to the courts and they might be able to over rule him. I don’t know for sure, research or call citizen advice. It’s worth a try. Also I’m not sure if you need his permission you just have to give him Inform him. Always have it in writing that you have told him. X

Type in do you need to ask the dad for permission to go on holiday abroad. It’s comes up about applying to the courts. It’s highlights for you x

My friend went through somthing similar, you can go through the courts if you have enough evidence they arnt paying child support or don’t see children you can change their surname and apply for passports. It’s on a case by case basis though. I’d seek advise from a family solicitor

Thank you so much everyone for the advice xx

My brother has his dads last name and had no contact from 4/5 months on. He is 24 now and he is happy to have the name he does, it has never affected his life. At school he went by my Mums maiden name but he hasnt ever bothered to legally change it

I’m so sorry you are going through this. Just to let you know though you can go on holiday without his permission as long as your name is on the birth certificate and you take this with you. I checked this with the registrar before giving my son solely my partners second name as we aren’t married.

The thing is his dad changed his name and surname, because when he was younger, he done something bad and he has been in jail. He said he wouldn’t change his name if I give a son his surname, but he did anyway and I think that’s not fair on are son because I have a different surname, he has a different surname And are son has different surname
