Statement Of Parentage

Statement of Parentage

• In cases where the mother does not want to use the natural father's name for the baby, the father of the child can complete a Statement of Parentage form (available from Council Services).
• This form will state that he is, in fact, the natural father, but the mother does not wish to acknowledge him.
• His information will not appear on the birth records but will be used in case of an emergency.
