If your name is on the birth certificate then you have parental responsibility if it isnt and you want it then a dna n courts will decide

As an unmarried father you have no automatic parental responsibility for your child. You can acquire parental responsibility by registering (or re-registering) the birth of your child, together with the child's mother, making a formal agreement with the mother, by obtaining a court order, by becoming the child’s guardian (which would only take effect on the mother’s death) or by marrying the mother.
I think if i remember rightly when I registered my son, the registrar said I would have to re-register him after we got married, which we have not done. So, technically she is solely responsible.
Feel free to correct me if i'm wrong.

 If you are the blood parent of the child, then you are the parental father, however the issue of parential responsibility may be an issue between you and your ex wife or you and the court. If your ex-wife has full custody of your child then in practice, if not by the letter of the law, your ex-wife has effictively total responsibilty. If it is important that you get this clarified then I suggest that you re read your divorce order and seek professional advice from your solicitor.

Wot sort of question is that ?
Is the child yours?
If yes then YES it is
Have you brought this child up as ur own ?
If yes then YES it is
Is your name on the birth certificate ?
If yes then YES it is
If you have to question your responsibilitys to this child then i dont think your a good DAD at all
Just because your havin problems with ur ex-wife dont mean the child has to suffer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
