reader, anonymous, writes (10 December 2009): in england i am pretty certain (although don't quote me oun it) that he has very little rights if he does not have his name of the birth certificate. The law now is that if the fathers name is on the certificate whether married to the mother or not, he has the same rights as a husband would have to his child. So, if you don't want him to have any rights then do not put his name on the certificate - although again, don't quote me on it, i could be wrong. However i don't know what his rights are should he seek a blood test.

 Laws vary so much on that. Here in the states, in some states he would have certain rights and responsibilities. My advice would be to see a family law lawyer. Especially if there is a free legal clinic there. Better to know your rights before the fact.
Two examples: A friend/acquaintance of mine has raised her daughter alone and with her second husband with no assistance or payments or interference from her ex husband. Some fancy legal contracts had to be put in place for her to do that.
My sister in law got pregnant in high school. When the son was born the state did the blood tests and interviewed the possible candidates. All without her permission. They found the "father" and sued him for child support. If she had wanted to avoid that she would have had to acted sooner.
