No child should be neglect because a "father" decides he doesn't want to be in their life, and as a result of this it could lead a child to having mental health issues knowing that their father doesn't want anything to do with them.

The government needs to make it possible to remove a fathers name from the birth certificate aswell as a partners name without the cost of a dna test when its in the childs best interest.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. Birth cerificates display the biological parents of a child, where known.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do, such as making it easier to remove legal parental responsibility from absent parents, if that's what you'd like to see happen.
