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!

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 advantages does it give the child of an unwed couple if the child has the fathers last name?

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?

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.
