Who's last name does a child take from unwed parents?

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.

There are not any legal advantages one way or the other, however if the parents introduce themselves as Mr & Mrs "Jones" the child may be more comfortable using the family name. However, if the parents are not married, then why should the child make that commitment if they won't?

If the parents have the same last name, then that name should be given to the child as well. If the parents have different last names, then the child can be given a hyphenated version of both parents' names. In some states, your choices may be limited.

The estate of the last surviving parent must be probated in order for title to the real estate to pass to the heirs at law.

It is standard in the United States for children to have their father's last name, unless a child is adopted by a different couple. It does not matter if the parents do not live together. In Spain, A son will generally have his father's last name and a daughter will have her mother's last name.

Yes, you can. Until the age of 18 it is the parents choice to change or not to change.

Being the last child can end up being many things: * The last child is spoiled by not only the parents, but the other siblings. * The last child can feel left out because their siblings are older and don't want to have someone so young hanging around them all the time. * The last child may be embraced and loved dearly by their parents and siblings. Just depends on the family. * The last child may not get the full attention from parents as the other sibling got (not saying they wouldn't love you.) First baby's are always the most spoiled and most well received. Then there may be a second or third child and there isn't as big a fuss after that. However, to good parents each one of their children is loved the same and cared for the same.

NO. In most states the father of the child must be present at the time of birth to sign the birth certificate as the father of the child.

Even if the father pays child support, the mother is not obigated to change the child's last name to that of the father.

I am not totally sure, but I would say that they can.

That decision is up to the parents. There is no law that covers this situation if the mother has not taken her husband's name in marriage.

The child can legally have whatever name the parents give. As well as that the child can eventually choose any name it wants regardless of the wishes of the parents or any one else. However the name does not necessarily indicate who the father really is or isn't

no because if your parents don't agree to it then its illegal
