Hi there. Hoping for some guidance please. I am currently pregnant and the father will not be involved with the child in the future (the father is aware of the pregnancy and has chosen not to be involved). I am considering applying for child support, however I am hesitant to put the father's details on the birth certificate as I am concerned it will become difficult when it comes to things like passport applications, etc for the child in the future. Is it possible to provide alternative documentation for the child support application? For example, could I request he sign a stat dec confirming he is the father and that he has chosen to forego his rights and responsibilities? We were not living together or in a defacto relationship at the time, so I am unable to provide that as evidence. Thank you.

Thanks Tim. I have not discussed with him yet about whether or not he is on the birth certificate. It is more about my concern about difficulties in the future having to get him to sign things like passport applications, etc for the child. Thank you for providing the link.

I think there needs to be some conversations with dad about the realities here.
Child upport isn't negotiable. There are a whole lot of other benefits they could refuse you access to.
Plan B. One night stand. No idea who dad is. No dad on birth certificate. No child support no problems getting a passport.
Incomplete consent
What if not everyone consents to a child passport? What if I don’t have full consent or an Australian court order that permits the child to travel? What are special circumstances? How do I claim special circumstances? Will you contact the other parent if I claim special circumstances? What if...
