Married girlfriend is pregnant. Need to check on status on baby (modified 0 times) Michealtan Hi there, I have a couple of questions that I hope I can get advice on. My girlfriend who is currently married is pregnant. She has been married for just over 1 year, and I came into the picture when it broke down 2~3 mths into that marriage. She has not proceeded with the divorce yet.. but will be getting it started soon. I know this is a bit screwed up but this pregnancy wasn't planned and we want to keep the baby. My questions are: 1. Is it compulsory to put her husband's name in the birth cert, by virtue of him being the husband? 2. If the father's name can be left blank, will I be able to insert my name after we are legally married? 3. What are the procedure for this? (I read from JPN that I will need to adopt in order to get my name in it. is it correct?) 3. Name of baby; will the baby need to follow the surname of the husband? Or can the baby use my surname? 4. Status of an illegitimate non-Muslim child; are there any disadvantages that I need to be aware of? 5. Will I be able to legitimate the child once I have formalised the marriage with her? 6. This one is a bit out of topic.... but how long would this sort of divorce take? thank you all for your time. 30 Aug, 2010 16:44:56

RE:Married girlfriend is pregnant. Need to check on status on baby (modified 0 times) LoyerBrook It is really a Screwed up case! If her husband create a Havoc with you! You need to separate your case into 2 Topics, in order to get this matter straighten out. Your Marriage with her and her Divorce with her husband as 1st topic. Then, Inserting your Name or her Husband's name as 2nd topic. The 1st Topic takes years to settle. The 2nd Topic can settle immediately after the child's birth. You must psychologically and emotionally prepare yourself to be the Husband of your Woman and Father of the coming Child. You can put your name as the father of the baby, and use your surname even before marriage... IF the Baby REALLY IS YOURS and you want to name yourself as the Father! The baby is a legitimate child, as he or she has a RECOGNIZED FATHER. REMINDER: Visualize yourself as the Father of the Legitimate Baby. Your main problem remaining is just Lack of a Sheet of Marriage Certificate, that's all. 31 Aug, 2010 23:06:44

RE:Married girlfriend is pregnant. Need to check on status on baby (modified 0 times) LoyerBrook REMINDER: DO NOT Register your Woman as SOMEBODY'S WIFE during her child birth in the Hospital. Just register as Your Single Mother WITHOUT Marriage Certificate. Your case is similar to "Eat First, Pay Later" in the Restaurant! Hhaaa hhhaaa....!!! 31 Aug, 2010 23:15:29

RE:Married girlfriend is pregnant. Need to check on status on baby (modified 0 times) Michaeltan Profile Hi LoyerBrook, thanks for the advice. A couple of more questions that I hope you can help me with. Can I know if they will ask for the marriage certificate during the registration of the baby? is there any way they can find out later that we have not revealed that she is married? what are the implications if registration is done with her status being stated as married? thank you. REMINDER: DO NOT Register your Woman as SOMEBODY'S WIFE during her child birth in the Hospital. Just register as Your Single Mother WITHOUT Marriage Certificate. Your case is similar to "Eat First, Pay Later" in the Restaurant! Hhaaa hhhaaa....!!! 09 Sep, 2010 00:33:54

RE:Married girlfriend is pregnant. Need to check on status on baby (modified 0 times) LoyerBrook The Best Option is to give Birth at a Private Clinic. Just state her Marriage Status as SINGLE! Don't be Silly to State as Married. Nobody knows, unless the Husband creates a Havoc with her and you! You are the Child's Father, But Not Married, so No Marriage Cert. yet If you have problem with Registration of Child's Birth Cert., you may have DNA Test after the Child's Birth to prove as the Father. Then, deal and solve any problem from there on. 16 Sep, 2010 03:39:37
