The name given the child does not affect custody. The court looks at the ability of the parent to provide a stable environment with the means to support the child.

Can a father remove his last name from child's and child get mothers last name?
Yes, a father can change his child's last name. However, this depends on the custody arrangement, and who has primary custody.

An illegal resident can not get custody of your child and not based on that they have the same last name.

It depends on who has custody of the child. If you have complete custody then you do not legally have to change it.

Does the unmarried mother still have custody of a child if that child has the fathers last name?
If you live in the US... The child having the father's last name has NOTHING to do with custody. If Dad is listed on the birth certificate as the father, then both parents have equal custodial rights until a court declares otherwise--you need a custody order. If Dad is not listed on the birth certificate, it will be a simple thing for him to petition the court to establish paternity and once that's done he can then petition for custody/visitation.

Probably not because it's sounding like she takes care of & supports the child, not you.

Can, but the father can challenge it in probate.
If an unmarried couple in Wisconsin gave children the father's last name who has custody of those children?
That depends on local law but unless the father is registered as being a parent on the child's birth certificate, the custody is with the birth mother and the father has no or few rites. Also in a dispute, the courts will normally give custody to the birth mother unless there are clear overriding reasons, in the interest of the child, why this would not be appropriate.
If the father's name is not listed on the birth certificate but the child has his last name what are the rights of the father?
Yes, if he can establish his paternity legally through a DNA test. Once his paternity is established he can petition for visitation or custody and if the mother retains custody she can request a child support order. A father's parental rights do not depend on the name of the child only on the biological relationship.
Do a father have to adopt his child after the father n mother of the child gets married n the child has the mothers last name?
You can't adopt a child who's biologically yours. If you have not already done so, I suggest that you ask the court for an order finding that you are the father. You will probably have to sign an acknowledgment of paternity or undergo genetic testing to accomplish this.
What are the odds a father can get custody of a child if he has not been in their life in the last two years but pays child support?
That is dependent of the evidence and whether he was denied access, as happens in 60% of the cases. It's a matter of preparation.
