Biological Father

Good day,

I want to seek your advice regarding my case.

I want to ask if it is alright if I sign the birth certificate of the child of my girlfriend.

She's pregnant and due this month but I'm not the father. The father already left her long ago.

Due to many circumstances we broke up 2 years ago and just got back together recently after I've pursued her. (I already know she's pregnant when I did that.)

We are planning to get married this year. Now, I would like to take full responsibility for her child as the father. I’m planning to have the child use my surname.

Is it alright to sign the birth certificate and acknowledge the child as my own?

Thank you for your time.

that is a short cut which is not allowed by law, but i have to admit it is not the first time it will be done.

What will be the worst scenario if it's done?

As I understand, even if I signed the birth certificate for the acknowledgement of the child as my own, she will still be illegitimate.

Will she be automatically be legitimized after her mother and I got married?

if you acknowledge her then marry the mother, the child will be legitimated. you can be made liable for simulation of birth. although someone has to actually file a case against you.

Thank you so much. I'll just have to hope that the father does not return or will file a case..

God Bless you.

ahem, i did not recommend that you do it. good luck!

can someone help me with my problem.

im married to my husband who already died due to cancer...but before he died he wanted to have a child..to give his request i make a decision to have a child to other man. and then i get pregnant at naging masaya asawa ko sa natitirang buwan ng buhay nya...

ang problema ko ay ginugulo ako ng ng lalaking nakabuntis sakin...gusto nyang magsama kami eh para daw sa bata...tinakatkot pa nya ako na sasabihin nya sa magulang ng asawa ko ang katotohanan...pati sa tinitirhan ko ngayon eh ginugulo nya kami...ano po pwede kong gawin para tigilan nya kami..di ko din sure kung anak nya to pero mahal magpaDNA test.

ayoko magulo ang buhay ng bata...gusto kong lumaki cya na ang kinikilala nyang ama ay ang namayapa kong asawa.

i need advise...dapat ko bang sabihin sa mga byenan ko ang katotohana para matahimik na ako sa pananakot nya?

pls help

neutralizing his threat is an effective way of handling this.

he has no legal recourse to make himself the father because that would remove the legitimacy of the child. only your husband could do that and he did not. even if he gets a dna test, the birt certificate is conclusive that your husband is the legal father.

ANU PO BA MAGIGING KUMPLEKASYON IF TATANGGAP AKO NG PERA DUN SA UMAAKONG AMA NG ANAK KO? NGAUN KC NA PATAY NA ASAWA KO MEDYO HIRAP AKO SA GASTUSIN SA ANAK K...

SYA PO NAG KUKUSA NA GUSTONG MAG BIGAY NG SUSTENTO SA BATA

he will expect and demand something in return.

alam na nya kung saan ako nakatira and sa ngayonn pagoff nya sa work (security guard and work nya) pumupunta siya sa bahay at kahit pinagbabawalan ko eh pumupunta parin siya..ano po ba pwede kong gawin para di siya pumunta samin kasi baka pagusapan na ako sa lugar namin at makarating pa un sa byenan ko.

report him to the police. you can charge him with stalking, but you will have to admit that you had a relationship with him before.

thank you for the advise..

good evening

i am 22 years old and still finishing my studies. my biological father migrated to australia when i was still a baby. he and my mom has there own respective family. now, my biological father doesn't want to support me financially because i'm in the right age. when i was in my minor age, he seldom support me. is he right? what should i do

the person who supported you during your minor years can claim from him, but it will be difficult if he's in another country.

do i still have the right to ask for financial support though i'm the ryt age but im still incapable of working coz im still undergraduate?

you can try, but i don't think it will prosper

why?

because he is in another country beyond the jurisdiction of our courts.
