My boyfriend and I are currently living together, but are not married. If I give our son his last name, are there any legal aspects I should be aware of? I keep picturing this frightening scenerio where his mother, or someone else with his last name, comes and takes him from school. This especially concerns me since his sister has the same first name that I do, and because I do not get along well with his mother. I trust that my boyfriend will be a good father, but I am concerned over custody issues and I am likely to end up being the primary caregiver to the child, possibly moving away within the first year of our sons life, due to my graduation from college. Does anyone know any of the legal aspects involved with having a child with a different last name? Would the scenerio I have pictured be an issue or be more likely with his last name? Any advice in the name dept would be great. My family really wants the baby to have my last name. i just want whatever is best for my son.
