Dad Refuses To Sign Son’s Birth Certificate As Partner Decides To Name Baby After Ex

A dad refused to sign his son’s birth certificate, as his partner decided to name the child after her ex. 

The bloke took to Reddit to ask others what he should do after he discovered what the mother of his child had done.

He claims that they’d argued back and forth about a name, before finally resting on one they both could agree on.

Yet on the day he went to sign the certificate, he discovered she’d not entered the name they had agreed on.

He wrote: “She’s been fobbing me off for a few days now so in the end, I told her, calmly, that I’m not signing the birth certificate until we change the name back to what we agreed.

“This caused a bit of a row with her and she’s now refusing to talk to me until I sign the certificate and agree to the name.”

To readers’ shock, the girlfriend had entered the first and second name of her ex-boyfriend.

But after confronting her on the matter, she’d say she was too exhausted to discuss it and that it had simply been a ‘spur of the moment thing’.

The dad is now desperate for advice, adding: “I’m now plagued with doubt and wondering if I should get a paternity test or whether she’s still in love with him.”

In response to the post, one person commented: “For sure, insist on a paternity test before signing the birth certificate.”

Another said: “Dude paternity test immediately. This is such a red flag.”

“She is being very shady, naming the baby after her ex is not OK. Get a DNA test and don’t sign the birth certificate until paternity is established and she changes the name to the name you both agreed upon,” a third advised.
