Son had child with girlfriend.had paternity test to be sure
Hi.. my 21 yr old son has been going through hell... he met this 20 yr old girl from broken home who was living with an abusive boyfriend, and after 3 weeks into their "relationship" she became pregnant... he took her for restraining order & it was granted but she continued to go back to boyfriend even after finding out she was pregnant, but wasn't sure who was the father... we took her into our home so she had a safe place to live, and my son stood by her side the whole pregnancy & delivery.I insisted on Paternity test for my familys sake & that of the child.. he was determined to be baby dad, but his name was not placed on birth certificate (was listed as to be determined) amd carries the name of mothers step-father.. after 7 months.. girlfriend takes baby out of state & to go home to "mommy" who never did a thing for here throughout her whole pregnancy.. at any rate.. he had to go to court to get visitation rights, but mother "lost" the original birth certificate and will not submit to having his name added to birth certificate.. they at one time were going to hyphenate last name.. now all of sudden 3 months later she is engaged to a new guy (following in her mothers footsteps.. 3 c hildren all from different guys, but only she carries step fathers name).. now is holding birth certificate off trying to get new guys name added as child's father... Can my son petion court to have his child's last name changed to his since he pays support without the mothers signature?
The lack of fathers rights in this country are deplorable..
