I wish I could just leave my kid's dad of the birth certificate without depriving the child of a nationality they have the right to
Post Body

I'm married to the dad of the baby I'm expecting, but we don't live together. He doesn't want to be a parent, and I don't want to force him to be one at this point. We are technically more like FWB at this point, though we rarely see each other at this point.

He doesn't care about being on the birth certificate (he said that choice was up to me). I wish I could just leave him off of it, but I would be depriving my child of one of the citizenships they're entitled to.

Child support doesn't really matter as he's on benefits and I'd get no more than the equivalent of $45/month. I was never planning on asking for it anyway, knowing his situation. He's not abusive, he's not violent, he's just not open to being a dad.

(Outside the US and north/south America, citizenship isn't determined by where you are born, it's determined by the parents' nationality

I wish there was someone who could step in and take his place but there isn't really. And I'm not asking for just anyone to step in, btw. I'm just venting. I feel sad right now.
