If you are 15 and the father of your baby is 21 and in jail can you give the baby his last name?
Yes you can If he is on the birth certificate or has voluntarily accepted paternity, state laws usually allow such action. In cases where the former does not apply a paternity test will be required before the court allow the child to legally take the name of the biological father.

The childs last name is irrelevant. If you have established paternity you can petition for full custody in court. Speak to your lawyer about your chances.
Is it mandatory in the state of Mississippi for a child to have his or her father's last name if the parents are not married but the father is paying child support?
I�m assuming the last name is different because the father did not voluntarily acknowledge paternity? I assume this because in Mississippi, if you're unmarried but paternity is acknowledged (by both parents signing an acknowledgement of paternity form) then the father�s name is listed on the birth certificate, and the child is given the father�s last name--unless both the mother and father agree otherwise (and if they agree otherwise, then I believe an affidavit has to be filed in regard to that). You can file for child support even though the child does not have the father�s last name. If Dad has not voluntarily acknowledged paternity, then paternity would have to first be established, and a DNA test would be ordered. Once paternity is established, the court will order that Dad�s name be added to the birth certificate, and "In the event of court-determined paternity, the surname of the child shall be that of the father, unless the judgment specifies otherwise." (Per Mississippi Code 93-9-9) I�m originally from Mississippi, and in every single case that I�ve personally heard of involving court-determined paternity, the child's last name has been changed to that of the father's. But I will admit that the cases I know of involved very young children (so no situations of a child who�d had Mom�s last name for 10 years and then suddenly had that changed). I'm getting wordy, I know :) To answer your question--is it *mandatory* for the child to have the father's last name in order to receive child support? No. Is there a chance that the child's last name might be changed? Yes.
Does the father have right if his name is not on the birth certificate but child has is last name?
No. I doubt you are the only one in the world with that last name. You don't own your last names unless you patented it. A unmarried father have rights to his child if he proved paternity in court. Not otherwise.
Can a under aged mother put fathers name on birth certificate?
If the minor is the biological mother of the infant she can. But, the person named as the father has the right to contest the matter and request a paternity test if he so chooses. If the couple are unmarried, and the father denies paternity, the court will require paternity to be established before any issues regarding the child (child support, custody, visitation, etc.) will be addressed.
How can i change child's last name If ex-husband is not the father?
This is what's called Paternity Fraud, since you didn't do it at the beginning. I assume he challenged paternity? You will need a court order for the change.
