Amend the law on Birth Certificates, to require a Father to be named

Petition Details

Currently, a Mother has absolute control in whether a Father is named on a child's Birth Certificate. The Government should amend the law to require Father's to be named except in extreme extenuating circumstances, Also prevent CMS claims against Fathers that aren't named on Birth Certificate.

Additional Information

It is true in many cases, that biological Father's are left off of Birth Certificates for inadequate reasons, such as; Controlling Behaviour by the Mother, Parental Alienation, to prevent Father exercising Parental Responsibility, or just plain spite. It is impossible to understand why the law continues to not enforce equality when it comes to Children Matters. A Mother receives Parental Responsibility from birth, a Father receives it if and when the Mother allows it, or a court, This is wrong!

There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You may wish to sign this petition which calls for the same action: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/638903

If you'd like to start a petition calling on the Government to only allow child maintenance claims against people named on a birth certificate we could accept a petition requesting this.
