Want this question answered?
If the DNA of the father matches the baby, they have rights and responsiblities whether they have the same last name or not. The court system will agree with this also.
Im not sure about other states but in South Carolina no you don't i named my children with a totally different last name than the fathers or mine and his name is on there birth certificates he just has a different last name than them.
Nothing will happen to your baby, your baby will just be a bastard.
usually it the fathers last name
Yes, i don't see why it wouldn't be. In tradition the baby is to have the fathers name though, for in the old days the male of the house "owned" the child.
It depends. Probably the moms. However, it's up to the parents. You do have a choose but often the child gets the fathers last name if he is on the birth certificate. Think of your baby and relationship with the father. Are you still together? Will the baby have a part in its fathers life? If the answer is yes I would suggest giving the child the privilege of having their fathers last name. You could also hyphen if you wanted to...
Sure, hyphenated last names are becoming very common.WHICH ONE IS THE TRUE LAST NAME
