I'd be fine with that if the wording didn't imply that the father is
the only parent who is financially responsible for the child, and/or if
Mom also had some document she were required to sign in order to get
her name on the birth certificate


Think about this one - there's no question who the mother is, because
the child came out of her body, in front of all those witnesses.
Therefore, there is no necessity for her to acknowledge maternity - it's
quite obvious she is the mother.

It's the came concept as in Judaism - if the mother is Jewish the child
is considered to be Jewish - because you always know who the mother is.

Oh, I just recognized the handle. That explains a lot.

Moon, you aren't paying attention. I'm not upset that Mom doesn't have
to claim maternity. Obviously that would be silly.

Go back and read again. It's the implications on the "voluntary"
affidavit of paternity that upset me -- the implications that Dad is the
ONLY one financially responsible for the child.


As Bob pointed out, the mother is ALREADY financially responsible for the
child. The flaw here seems to be your insistant perception.

I just asked my GF if she ever had to sign a document claming that she
agreed to be financially responsible for the child (without mention of
anyone else) in order to get her name on our son's birth certificate. She
told me that she did not. Do you get it yet?


She signed the birth certirficate. Get it yet?

Maybe birth certificates in your state specifically mention maternal
responsibility for the financial well-being of the child. Here, they do
not.


That you can play ring-around-the-legal-rosie and formulate some
hypothesis of how she is financially responsible for our son is irrelevant
and untrue. We all know she could drop him off at the local fire station
and never have to pay one further red cent towards his upkeep. And THAT
is the law, in actuality.


Yet she still signed that birth certificate, didn't she.

Moon, I am not going to be sucked into an argument with you. I would
also gladly sign the birth certificate, and by that I mean the same
document she signed. However I am not allowed to sign it directly. I
am required to first sign another document that implies that I am the
only person responsible for my son's financial upkeep.

This is not right. That you are too thick-headed to see that it is not
right, and WHY it is not right, does not make it right.


But Moon, your previous discussions in this forum reveal your true colors,
and I realize going into this with you that you have made up your mind and
have no interest in changing it. Enjoy.


Raising my kids? I do enjoy it, thanks!

Irrelevant to the matter at hand, Moon. It's great, don't get me wrong,
but irrelevant to the matter at hand.
