i had an unplanned pregnancy with an ex we were only dating a few months. he didnt want the baby. was not involved in the pregnancy or birth or anything. i kept the baby and now want him to sign over his rights. he didnt sign the birth certificate so right now there is no father on the birth certificate. i want nothing from him. do i NEED to get him to sign over his rights even though he has expressed zero interest. i am trying to protect myself for the future i dont want him thinking he can come in and out of my kid's life. will he need to take a paternity test before he signs his rights? do i need a lawyer and the court to be involved or can i just get the forms and get them notarized or something?
