could my partner adopt my son without his dads consent (no father on birth cert)?

08/12/2010 admin 5 comments

My sons dad has not been involved since he was 3 weeks old. he is not on the birth cert. he was violent and an alcoholic. i told him he could see my son supervised but he has never bothered.
he does pay CSA.
my partner im with now has brought him up since he was 4 month and we changed his name to his surname by deed poll (before that he had my surname NOT his fathers)
we live in the uk.
does anyone know if my partner could adopt my son without his dads consent and how to go about it?
AND TO STORMY S!
you totally wrong because my sons dad has NO PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY what so ever. he was born within the years of the new laws but he wasnt there when i registerd the birth, therefor he is not on the birth cert so then he has no parental responsibilites at all. He can only get parental resp by going to court and getting a court order to do so. and solicitors gave me that info so i know its right. And i can decide whether my son goes to see him supervised or un-supervised. he was a violent alcoholic towards me and my son, any mother in their right mind would not let their child be left alone with anyone like that. im not one of these mothers that stop the children seein their fathers, i believe dads should be involved unless there is certain reasons why he shouldnt, and my sons dad shouldnt

I think he can as long as the father is astranged.. this was the case for my sister but years ago.. i think that u can contact social services about this.. also not sure if u stand a better case if u are married and u both have to adopt the child even though he is still yours

I think the fact that the father pays may complicate things. If your son is adapted that would relieve the father of any monetary responsibility’s. Seeing as he has no involvement anyways you may be able to use that as leverage for him to sign off on it.These things can be tricky according to how things were drawn up in the first place.

Courts, file for parental abandonment and then file a petition for adoption
Written by Stormy S about 1 year ago.

First of all only a COURT/JUDGE can determine whether your child’s father could only see him on supervised visitation, not you. If you had no court order the child’s father could see him whenever he wanted to without your consent anytime he wanted. Secondly, a male name is not required on the birth certificate of a child. I have a friend who had the name God placed there. The only name that means anything on a birth certificate is the mother’s, the father’s doesn’t HAVE to be there unless he chooses to put his name there. Doesn’t matter that he drinks, or is violent, that is up to the court system to determine if he should have visitations if he wanted. And lastly No your partner can not adopt your son unless the child’s father gives up all parental rights and again that HAS to go through court and if the child’s father chooses NOT to give up his rights you can’t force him to do so.

BTW the above poster is correct to a point. If you did not file abandonment charges at the time then you can not do so no, statute of limitations has run out and the court won’t even give you the time of day on that one. They would be asking YOU why you didn’t file at the time.

Not if he’s paying child support.

But you can use that as an option to get him to drop his parental rights.

Float the idea you’ll drop child support if he drops his rights.
