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.

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

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!

What are is the up side and down side of being the last child in a family?
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.
