The only way to have your child's last name changed to the name of your new husband is for him to legally adopt her through the family court in your county.
No it doesnt need the fathers name unless the father is there
legally, no.
no
Yes
Fathers with parental rights are not always listed on the birth certificate.
The easiest way (small fee for the document) is to apply to Vital Statistics to get the birth certificate of your husband's child. The other woman does not have to give the birth certificate if she chooses not to.
how do I add my daughter's father name to the birth certificate? I live in New York.
no you do not have to put the fathers name on the birth certificate. Unless you want to. my sons fathers name is not on his birth certificate. but i have been thinking about putting his name on there. because i don't want my son to see it when he grows up and ask me why his daddys name isn't on there.
The mother should put the actual fathers name on the birth certificate.
no
North Carolina is not a putative father state and as such has no clear definition of a father, so any name can be placed on the birth certificate.
YOu have to contact the Office of vital statistics in the state where the birth certificate was issued. Depending on the error they will tell you what to do. I had a similar situation in which my husbands date of birth was wrong on our daughters birth certificate. We had to get a certified copy of my husband's birth certificate and then I had to write a letter asking for the change and it had to be notarized! It was a pain but those are the hoops we jumped through. Hope this helps!
