Birth Cert. And Last Names Posted: 06-20-04 20:25pm
Okay where I live (loiuisiana) as far as I
know if a woman has a child and is not
married the child has to have the mothers
last name put on the birth cert. Unless
the father signs a notarized statement.
Does anyone else have to do this? I think
that it is dumb. I mean if my df is in
the room and he wants to sign it why
couldn't he? So basically this means that
if I have my baby at 2 in the morning my
df will have to go out find a notary and
sign a statement. This is really pissing
me off. I mean I could see if he wasn't
there or said that the child wasn't his.
Than we would have to go through some sh*t
to get it done, but if he is there and
wants to sign he can't, what. I just had
to vent a little

Can't you have your man sign the paper
ahead of time? Just asking because I
seriously do not know. That is strange
though, I have never heard of that kind of
law.

I thought about that too ,but from what
the law says he has to sign after the baby
is born. Louisiana is so stupid.

That sucks. Right after you have your
baby I am sure you really want to worry
about finding a notary. Sorry.

Thanks. I think i'll call a notary or a
lawyer when I get home to see if there is
anyway around it. I mean we could just
get married early ,but I want our
anniversary to stay the same ,so that's a
no.

I live in la too, but the hospital gave us
a paper to fill out ahead of time instead
of worrying about it when we get to the
hospital to deliver. But I do know that
if the babys father is not your husband
that the father has to be at the hospital
to sign the papers, you cannot put his
name on the birth certificate unless he is
present. That is kinda stupid.
My ex-boyfriend had a baby with his
girlfriend. They, of course, wern't
married. But the baby is under his name
and he is on the birth certificate. He
was at the hospital too when tamara was
born. And I live in louisiana.

Here the baby can have any last name.....
Mothers fathers even grandmothers maiden
name..... Married or un married.....
The only thing is that where the fathers
details are put the father must sign.....
But even if he refuses to sign the birth
certificate the mother can still call her
baby by the fathers last name, just the
fathers details would be left
blank........
Hell you can even make up a last name for
the baby...... But who would want to....
