Utterly heartbreaking
Nick Green died suddenly in November 2021, aged just 35, tragically just days before his partner of four years Gemma Walters gave birth to their first child. What should have been the happiest time of their lives turned to heartbreak when Nick collapsed from an undiagnosed heart condition and died at the gym where he was a regular.
"Instead, as an unmarried couple, we both have to be present for the registration of the birth, which is obviously impossible if one part of the couple is dead. So instead, I have to obtain a DNA test and a judge at the High Court has to issue what is called a declaration of parentage, when they are satisfied that he is the child's father and that the registration can be completed. When that is completed and I have a court order, I will be able to re-register the birth.
According to Gemma, the whole legal process is expected to cost just over £4,000. That's £960 for each court hearing and the cost of the DNA test and for an official from the laboratory to attend to swear the sample is correct. She is hoping to raise some of the funding via a GoFundMe page that she has set up.
