no difference. the law doesn't take into account the name of the child.
Which last name should an unwed mother give her newborn child?
A mother should give the child the name that will be of the most benefit to the future of the child. Sometimes it is best for the child to have their mothers last name even if the couple is together. I knew an unwed mother who gave her son her grandfather's last name because she saw it as a way to continue the last name of the last good man she knew in a child who could use a chance at a new life. All options should be in the table.

What are your rights to name your child when he is born if your boyfriend doesn't take responsibility and sign the birth certificate and can you still use his last name?
probably not since he is not taking responsibility so why would you even want to use his last name. I think you should use yours then later on if he decides to be man and take on his child then you can change the baby's last name.

Who's last name does a child take from unwed parents?
Whatever last name the mother chooses. Foe example, my parents are not married and my mom chose to give me my father's last name, (since SHE was the one who just gave birth the mom gets the ultimate decision). However, I have a cousin that gave her child her last name instead. If the father wants to give the child his last name, he can petition it to the court, and the judge will decide. I know this is a fact in Missouri!
When your married and you have a child does your child have to take the fathers last name?
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 parents of a child are unmarried and the father's name is not on the birth certificate. The mother gave the child her last name. Does she have to change it to her father's last name?
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. It could, in reality, be any man who would be willing to take legal responsibility for the unborn child. A child will only automatically get the father's name if the two parents are married. Even if the father pays child support, the mother is not obigated to change the child's last name to that of the father.
Will child protective services take a baby away if THC is in the mothers system at birth?
