Hi there,
.
You would be applying to the courts for parental responsibility and unless there are very strong reasons against this, you would be granted it, my understanding is that once you are given PR then you can then add yourself to the birth cert and there wouldn't be much she could do.
.
My knowledge on this isn't as good as others though so keep checking back and someone will either confirm what I've said or correct it.

Hi,
Geez i ran out of breath reading that..lol..
I was not on BC to start with, and as GTTS said, you will have no problem getting yourself PR unless there is a good reason the judge can see to refuse you. Trouble is you will have to go through the courts with a C-100 form and mediation etc etc

There is no reason it should not be granted always been there from birth how do i go about applying for this form i am totally new to this & never been thru it and ty for the responce....
Hi,
You go on the gov website and download the C-100 form. You then have to attend a mediation meeting, there will be alot of mediators in our area, if your fully employed you will have to pay about £70. The mediator will invite your ex to also attend the meeting, but if she refuses it doesnt matter as the meeting will go ahead regardless. Your mediator will sign off your C-100 form to confirm your attendance. You then fill out the relevant info the rest of form requires and with a £215 postal order you send it to your local county court as they deal with family cases. You can easily represent yourself so dont go getting a solicitor. If all the info your giving is correct i can tell you now, a judge wont have much hesitation in permitting you contact, you may end up with it being supervised but if you have the relationship with your child you say you do you can contest that.
This is my own personal experience, i have attached a link to download the form

The C100 form is for a Child Arrangements Order to sort out contact, you will also need form C1 for the Parental Responsibility. It won't cost any more to submit both forms, the fee is £215, unless you are on a low income or receiving benefits, in which case you may be entitled to a part or full exemption from the charges. You would need form EX160a to apply for this.
It might be helpful if you attend a Families Need Fathers meeting in your area, where you'll get some face to face support and advice. Here's a. Link to their website where you'll find details of meetings nationally.

Best of luck
Top people thank you so much you have all helped immensely...
These c100 & c1A forms are they only needed if there has been any sort of domestic violence there has never been any physical or emotional i have regular contact with my son i am just after getting her to agree to put my name on birth cert... But she is tryin to call the shots on the days i have him!!
It's a C1 for PR. A C1A is for allegations of harm. A C100 is for a Child Arrangements Order - that lays out who your son lives with & spends time with and when.
So i will just need the C1 form??
