I live in Missouri. My children have my last name (their father and I were never married) and I have a child support order in affect. Try contacting your local Child Support Enforcement agency for more information. That is how I went about getting an order. GOOD LUCK! It is a LOT of paper work, and a big headache, and everyone may have to do a DNA test, but if he helps pay for your kids to live, then it is all worth it... Just remember - wether they have his last name or not, he helped make them, and he should help pay for them... You do not get a break, so neither should he.

How do I go about changing my last name which is my fathers last name to my mothers last name?
To change your last name to your mother's last name, you would need to go through the legal process of changing your name. This typically involves filing a petition with the appropriate court, providing the necessary documentation (such as birth certificate, photo ID, and marriage certificate if applicable), and attending a court hearing. Each jurisdiction may have specific requirements, so it's best to consult with a legal professional to guide you through the process.

Yes, being on the birth certificate and having the child bear your last name may establish legal paternity, which can grant you custody rights. However, custody decisions in Minnesota are typically made based on the best interests of the child, so you may need to establish paternity through a court order to secure your rights. Consulting with a family law attorney would be advisable for guidance on the specific steps to take.
