What's The Kid's Lastname, When The Parents Are Single

[Berwynn]

I reside in Florida, and that I was informed when my childs dad isn't current at that time of delivery I can't name him about the birth certificate of provide our infant his lastname? He'll be absent at college for that military and certainly will not alter this. I'd like our kid to possess his lastname in addition to him be about the birth certificate. Are you able to support me out with this particular? Thanks ahead of time.

Yes. (Heck - I even know couples where, for reasons of their own, the kids were given surnames different from both parents.

If you should be not committed, Florida legislation demands that both parents sign a "Assertion of Paternity" type prior to the dad's title is likely to be placed on the birth certificate. Whilst the dad won't show up, you might include his name towards the birth certificate in a later day once you acquire, total and return the correct types in the Division of Essential Records.

Thank you , so does that mean that until he is added I can't give the baby his last name?

I am not sure whether you are restricted in California to giving the child your own name, or if you can designate a different name on the birth certificate. If you call the County Clerk's office, they can probably tell you.

Last question I promise ..... if you are not married the child can have the father's last name correct?
