What if a unwed mom give the child your last name but you did not sign birth certificate?

A mother can name her child anything she wants, even giving him or her a totally unrelated last name -- signature or no signature. If the mom is Smith and the father is Jones, the mother can name the child with Smith or Jones or even Mongo as the official last name. However, though you didn't sign the birth certificate (and no matter what the last name choice she makes) this does not absolve the biological father from responsibility. If you believe it is not yours, take a paternity test. If the name is the main concern, there is simply nothing you can do about it.

Which last name should an unwed mother give her newborn child?
An unwed mother has complete control over what to name the child. She should give the child her own last name since it is likely she will have complete responsibility for the child. If the parents are not married now it is unlikely they will ever be. The father can list his name on the birth certificate. If he wants the child to have his last name then he should marry the mother and take full responsibility as the father.An unwed mother has complete control over what to name the child.

Does a unwed mother have sole custody of her child in west Virginia?
Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he must establish his paternity by signing the birth certificate at the time of birth (waiving DNA testing rights) which must be done with mother's consent. If he doesn't sign the birth certificate then he must seek another way to establish his paternity and that is done through a DNA test. A paternity test can be arranged through the court and once established the father can request visitations, custody and set up a schedule of regular child support payments for the child.

The certificate can be amended later, when the parents decide which name to give the child. Until, then, the child's legal name is "Baby Girl" or "Baby Boy".
