What else can I help you with?
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.
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!

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.
