When my daughter was born there was a big issue of parentage over her so a dna test had to be done to prove I was the father after her mother brought up the question of dna. Whilst this was going on her mother registered the birth and no father was put on the birth certificate because of the obvious dna issue.
Now I want my name on the birth certificate for obvious reasons because I'm her dad, I've spoken to her about getting my name on there in person and she agreed to it. But everytime we talk over the phone it ends in an arguement, and last night was no exception I asked to go see my daughter and some how it ended it an arguement.
I have been out this morning to go and get the form to re-register the birth and get my name added onto the birth certificate and now I am beig told by my her mother that she isnt going to sign anything and will never put me on the birth certificate. In my opinion this is just another way of her not letting me have any parental rights.
I have heard of the c100 forms to give to the court to start proceedings and I have signed up for mediation so we can talk about stuff at those session. As I understand before anything happens with court we have to attend mediation sessions.
Is there anything I can do it the meantime to help the situation because talking to my daughters mother is like [censored] because she tries to use my daughter as a weapon, I need some advice to help everything move along in the right way.
I would keep communications with her to a minimum, let the mediator see if he can sort out a way through, that's what they are there for.
