Okay, baby born 19th November 2021 but legally married 5th Jan 2022. Me and wife went to High Commision here in Australia to register baby birth cert but turns out can't put my name in there due to baby born before married.
Have contacted a lawyer in Malaysia which says in order to put my name in there, have to legally adopt the child. Is there an easier way to go about this?
Thanks!
Wow, didnt know that THAT is a problem. Why la so weird like that. I thought country like Australia dont care bout that. why? "married" is important to prove that the kid is his baby is it? so if not married meaning the kid is not HIS baby? Sigh.
by that logic, would "legally adopt" allow you to put YOUR name on the cert? So say (SUPER-hypothetical), your wife decide to ask someone else to seek adoption and courts give permission, does that mean HE can put HIS name on the cert? what kind of system is this. OOORR another SUPER-hypothetical scenarios. Say YOU and your wife married before the kids' birth, and your wife actually had "it" with someone else (not you) 9 months ago, and YOU put YOUR name on the cert, can? Sigh.
Sorry TS i dont actually have an answer for you. Im just shocked that this is an issue. Do you need to take a blood test or something? maybe can legally prove the baby is yours........
