This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament

Petition Make father's who have DNA test automatically on birth certificate

Some mothers are scared if they put the father's on birth certificates then they have less rights but no matter what for the benefit of that child both parents should be on the birth certificate and father's should still need to prove their parenting via contact centres etc

More details

I have seen to many devoted fathers with no rights whatsoever it isn't fair in this day and age, we all have the right to be equal and every child deserves to know who brought them into this world, this is the only flaw in our system in this situation we all have a point to prove ourselves and thats what contact centres are in place for worried parents of their ex partners for different reasons and background checks go into parents for to see who these people are
