Should All Fathers Sign the Utah Putative Fathers Registry?

Question

Even if they or the child's birthmother are not from that State, Just in Case the agency has flown the mother out there to give birth?

This seems to be happening ALOT and father's rights are being walked all over. If they sign the registry in their own State (if one even exists) and are not aware that the mothers are giving birth in Utah, they are SOL. Dads are losing their kids because of this.

Answer 1

The trouble with Utah is that Utah is the Church, and the Church is Utah.  Incestuous?  You betcha.

The Church is affiliated with the agency that is creating all these problems.

The Church HATES bad publicity.

It's time to SUE them.

Answer 2

If any man from anywhere (yes, anywhere) doesn't want to risk his rights being circumvented by a marginalizing law used by unscrupulous people/agencies, most certainly!

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

This is where having fifty states with individual state laws is messed up.  

We should have a national registry.

Answer 5

the way they work this in utah...i say every young man in a sexual relationship with a female anywhere in the western hemisphere should do it.

Answer 6

I think they should.  A putative father has 24 hours or less to sign up on the putative father registry.

Answer 7

From the stories I am  hearing on this board I say...."Heck Yeah!".

Answer 8

if the father wants rights that of course they should sign- and if this is happening in Utah, something should be done.
