Geri Halliwell has reportedly changed her mind about allowing the father of baby Bluebell to have access to their child. Halliwell had initially banned ex-lover screenwriter Sacha Gervasi from seeing Bluebell and even left his name off the birth certificate, but after a fight with Robbie Williams, the former Spice Girl has changed her tune. "Robbie asked Geri to change her mind but she wasn't having any of it. They ended up having a big row," a source told a British paper. "Now she has had time to think and Robbie's words struck a chord. In recent days she has started to think of her little girl's long-term future and decided to give Sacha a fair chance." Gervasi's stepmother had also asked Halliwell to reconsider, saying, "Sacha should be treated fairly, he's desperate to be a dad. It would be terrible if Bluebell grew up without a father."

In Britain, if the parents are not married, a single woman cannot name the father on the birth certificate unless he is physically present in the registry office at the time the birth is registered or unless a statutory declaration acknowledging paternity is made by the father and given to the registrar by the mother or unless the mother names the father in a statutiry declaration and the unmarried father gives the signed document to the registrar
Its not really surprising that the father's name wasn't on this birth certificate as the mother has no legal right to name the father [without his agreement].
I imagine her lawyers advised her that its easier to be the sole parent as far as legal issues of access and custody are concerned.
[If the couple is married then either parent can register the birth alone or togeher.]
Yeah, but the baby was born in L.A., not Britain.
I hate to differ with the last person commenting but Bluebell was born May 14 at London's Portland Hospital weighing 5 lbs 12 ounces..... and last time I looked this was in Britain not America..
The same rules apply in the United States... at least in the state of Florida. If the father is not married to the mother, he must sign the birth certificate form at the hospital or have a signed and notarized declaration, as stated by prevous comment. The father (if deceased or unmarried) may be placed on the birth certificate without his knowledge or consent only if paternity is proven through a court-ordered paternity test and case is heard before an officer of the court.
