For that you will have to get a single mother certificate only after that you will be able to not include his name in the certificate. Also this certificate will be used in all the school, where you do not want to include your husband's name.

sure you can do that provided you have the legal ground for that. but please take it in to account that father's name is required to prove who is the father of the child otherwise only mother's name will not prove the father. Later on if you require any transaction for maintenance for your child then the father can simply say that he does not have any child and the father of the child is someone different. I accept your independence but you also understand the legal complexity
