Want this question answered?
No, unless the biological father or the child himself requests it.
go to the courthouse apply for a name change and bring up the issue of his name on your birth certificate
I gave my son my last name. Now the father wants me to change the last name to his. Can the court require me to do change it?
You can legally change the child's name if the biological father does not contest it. You may have to go to the courthouse to get it finalized in front of a judge. It might cost you a fee, for the paperwork.
Yes. The child does not need to be named after the father for him to be obliged to pay child support. He needs to be the biological father, that's all. Child support obligations arise from being the biological parent of a child and not on the child's name.
Changing your last name is the easiest. No permission needed. Trust me. All you have to do is begin using the new last name everywhere. Including school, applications, doctor office fill out forms etc. The last name will change itself.
Yes. Why wouldn't you be able to?
If you guys get married he will legally have parcial custody over your son and they may even let you change your child's last name to his would be step fathers if his biological father approves of it, this happened with my siblings and I but my father did not approve it. It has to be agreed between both parents in order to take place.
You would need to file an petition for name change with the appropriate court. The process and time would depend on the state's laws.
If he is married to the child's mother the decision is theirs to make, but if he is not married to her the mother decides the child's last name.
im your father, your last name is bunny, and no, you cant sleep over your friend marks house tomorrow
A child does not have to have the same last name as the biological father to receive child support from that father.
