What else can I help you with?
If you are not married to the father of your child but he wants the baby to have his name. Don't you lose some rights to that child?
Not at all. The child's last name does not grant more rights to one parent over the other with a different last name. It's just a name. The child doesn't even have to have either parent's last name.
Can the son's paternal grandparents take him from his mother?
Need more info in order to to answer. Taken by who? For what reason? Where is the father in all this? In what part, if any, do the PATERNAL grandparents enter into this? In most states, grandparent's rights are based through the parent's rights. If a parent's rights are terminated, then the grandparent's rights are also lost. Sad, but true.
Will my child get his fathers last name in the state of Georgia since we are not legally married?
The father would need to prove paternity if the parents were not married. He would also need to provide evidence the change in name is in the best interest of the child. If the child lives with the mother who has custody it is unlikely the court will allow the name change. If the father didn't marry the child's mother there is no reason for the court to allow the child's name to be changed.
Do a maternal grandparent have more rights to a child than a foster caregiver?
In terms of access to grandchildren, in most places grandparents have about the same rights as aunts, which is to say they have no rights that are not specifically conferred by a divorce court considering a specific divorce.
Can your mother keep your child from you?

Does legal separation provide more or less rights before birth of a child?
When you are the child's parent you always have rights. If you are still married you may have more rights. Being separated doesn't give you absolutely no rights.
Does my husband have to assume parental rights for my child in order for the father of my child to terminate his parental rights in Alabama?
No. The biological father can give up his rights and if your husband then want to be more than a step parent, who have no rights to the child, can adopt your child. Or not, that is your choice as the parent.
Can a daughter have traits from her paternal grandfather?
Yes, a daughter can inherit traits from her paternal grandfather through her father's genetic contributions. Genes are passed down from generation to generation, so it is possible for a daughter to display characteristics that are present in her paternal grandfather.
Can you move out when you're 16 and have a baby?
Only with parental consent. You don't get more rights when having a child as a minor. You just get rights to the child.
What age does a child fall under to be considered for child rights?
To be considered for child rights, a child must fall under the age of 18. You can get more information about child rights at the Wikipedia. Once on the website, type "Children's rights" into the search field at the top of the page and press enter to bring up the information.
You are a mother who has full custody the paternal grandparents go for months at a time with no contact can they still get their rights?
If you reside in a state that recognizes grandparents rights, the grandparents are legally within their rights to petition the court for visits with the child, but even if those visits are ordered there will be a schedule set by the court that they will be required to follow. Grandparents visitation rights are much more limited than those of a parent, and your responsibility as a parent ends with making the child available for scheduled visits. If the grandparents miss visits or do not follow the requirements of the order with regards to when the child must be returned or the setting in which the visits take place you can petition the court to have the visitation suspended. If the grandparents don't bother to go to court, or you can show that visitation with them is detrimental to your child based on previous contact then you don't have to hand over your kid just because they ask or demand.
When a child is incarcerated does the maternal grandmother have more rights to the children than the paternal grandfather if the father is not on the birth certificate?
You don't say which of the parents that are incarcerated but their rights to the child comes first. If the father is not in the birth certificate and he has not established paternity to the court so he can petition for visitation or custody and also pay child support, there is nothing that legally says he is the father. Then the maternal grandmother would have a better chance. If the father is not in the birth certificate but he has established paternity to the court so he can petition for visitation or custody and also pay child support, the chance should be equal.
