Best Answer

You can use either your last name or the fathers last name for the child. Neither of my children have my mothers last name, or my fathers for that matter. It is up to you what you want to use.

In Texas if a woman gives birth to another mans child while married what last name is given if the paternal father is present and wants his last name given?

First off, the paternal father has no assumed rights to the child to express any opinion in the matter, as single fathers have no assumed rights in any state. Second, in Texas the child is considered to be of the marriage. see links below

It is possible to register the birth certificate of a newborn baby if the FATHER doesnt want to sign on it and doesnt want to use hes SURNAME?

Yes, you can. Most states prohibit naming a father without either a marriage license or a DNA test. Of course, if you are unmarried and sue the child's father for child support, the father's name will be added to the birth certificate. Also, in almost all child support cases, the child's last name is changed to the father's last name.


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.

What is a person's paternal name?

A paternal name is your father's last name, or his surname. Similarly, a maternal name is your mother's last name, known as her surname and her maiden name (it is her maiden name unless she kept her own name). Paternal and maternal refer to the two sides of your family, your paternal grandparents are your father's parents, and likewise for your maternal parents.

Is your paternal name your last name?

Usually, yes it is. Your paternal name is your father's last name (or his surname) that you and your mother got from him. On a similar note, your maternal name is your mother's last name (also called a maiden name, and it is only called that if she kept her original last name). Maternal and paternalare words that describe which side of the family something is; so for example, your grandparents on your father's side would be your paternal grandparents, and the same for your mother's side of the family.
