not sure what to do
09-14-2006, 02:34 PM
To make a long story short me and my boyfriend broke up for a while, but got back together and got engaged. I was seeing someone while we were broken up and a week after he proposed we found out i was pregnant and the dates are really close. He, understandably,wants a dna test when the baby is born, but what can we do about the baby's last name and whether or not to put his name on the birth certificate as the father? Can the birth certificate be changed later on after we get the results back from the test if he is the father or if we put his name on the birth certificate will he be held responsible for child support if the baby is not his? :( :confused: :eek:

Yes, the BC can be changed after a DNA is done. Your BF shouldn't sign anything acknowledeing paternity until AFTER the baby is born and DNA proves that he is the father.
