Isn't this between her and YOUR SON??? Where is he during this time? Is he stepping up to the plate or hiding behind mommy who seems to be trying to get him out of this mistake HE made too. Is he paying for the child? That is all you need concern yourself with because this is your grandchild like it or not.

Yes she has the right not to put his name on the birth certificate, they arent married, but.......... it is still his child.
There are two ways that a father's name can be added to the child's birth record when the parents are not married at the time of the child's birth:
1) Recognition of Parentage (ROP); or
2) Court Ordered Paternity Adjudication.
After birth, one of you can file for paternity

I would ask her if she really wants to do that to her own child. I mean you will be dad. What will this child think of her and her family for treating dad like this. No more, mom will handle it. Mom wasn't the one who made this baby you 2 did. Now, tell them to back off and let the 2 of you talk about this alone, maybe even out on the porch or in the den but ALONE!
Sad to think of you 2 as responsible parents when all you had to do was use a rubber.

He can file for paternity. If he doesn't want to marry the bitch, so be it. She can't force him into that.
by yummy_mummy on November 20th, 2009
He doesnt have to marry her, but if he wants to successfully be a part of that childs life he needs to start making 100% of an effort now and you need to obtain legal representation to learn of your rights in your state. Every states paternal rights laws are different and some states dont even have Grand parents rights yet. Real up on everything and get DNA testing done ASAP. DO NOT pressure your son into getting married but DONT let him get away with 100% responsibility.

She can pressure & leave his name off the birth certificate. If your son wants to be part of this baby's life w/o getting married then you need to hire an attourney. He made a mistake & he needs to start making some grown up decisions for himself - right now.

F*ck her then. If she is trying to force him to get married because of this then it shows what type of woman she is. He is better off without her.
by level headed on November 20th, 2009
Whether or not she can leave him off the birth certificate is only a piece of paper. DNA testing will prove he is the father. Your son should take the responsibility for his actions. I realize age may play a part in this and he may not be ready to get married. What would happen if he impregnates another female?. Be responsible. If he is not sure that he is the father maybe a DNA test will put that to rest.

Yes
and let her if she wants to be a single mom with it being oh her to take care of the baby by herself
UGH I HATE THIS my friend does this to her bf.
by happiness on November 20th, 2009
Yes she can. Especially if it's true and proven that your son is the responsible BOY.
by TERRYTUKER on November 20th, 2009
attorney! if your son and you are serious about being part of this child's life
by XxStarlightxX on November 23rd, 2009
no she can't if he's the father than he has the right to have his name on the birth certificate!!
by Smart2 is back! Did you miss me? on January 8th, 2010
As long as she is unmarried, she can designate anyone or no one as the baby's father. If your son is wanting to be a part of this child's life, with or without the mother as his partner, you should make sure of two things: 1) he gets an attorney who orders DNA testing to confirm that the baby is, in fact, his and 2) a box of condoms to make sure this error in judgment is not repeated.

I agree:)
by Bluemuun on November 20th, 2009
its not her grandchild if her son is kept off the birth certificate, more than likely that's her main concern to have the right to see her Grandchild, she needs legal advice not opinions
by TERRYTUKER on November 20th, 2009
Okay, I'll buy that.
by Sharona Life is a Tale Told by an Idiot on November 20th, 2009
True, but now that her son is going to be a dad he needs to take the lead and be the one who fights for his rights AND his moms. Yes, he will still need guidance from his parents, but it's time for them to say; this is your grown up responsibility. And LET him be a man for his child.
by Stillme FBB on November 20th, 2009
who said he wont be, shes the one dangling marry me or you will never see your kid.
by TERRYTUKER on November 20th, 2009
You know what Terry, it's probably like lawyers. It's not the kids it's their parents who want this and not this.....as we find out attorneys do the same thing. These 2 kids need to be able to talk, I mean being alone for a couple of hours now sure won't hurt anything. :):)
I do understand what you are saying.:)
by Stillme FBB on November 20th, 2009
you rock Happy Friday FBB:)
by TERRYTUKER on November 20th, 2009
Awwwwwwwww, nicest thing I've heard all day! Thanks Terry:):)
by Stillme FBB on November 20th, 2009
So WHERE is this person who asked the question? I went the way I did with the answer because first she said he was being forced to marry her. If that is the case, he is ON the birth certificate. If he doesn't marry her, maybe that was her ploy if he doesn't comply. Mom doesn't need her nose in the private life drama of son and future wife.
