I have done this w/ my child. Depending on where you are... you can go to the court house to get the paperwork. If there is someone else on the birth certificate- ie a father listed..then you will have to give him notice of the hearing..if you dont know where he is..you have to place an ad in the paper for so many days..(any paper)...then that is basically his notice... then you go to court.and the judge signs the ok... I had to contend w/ my sons biological father...but he wasnt paying support..and tried to fight it..but the judge basically laughed at him... cause he wasnt paying..and said he would never pay..so there are just steps you need to take..but start w/ the court house if you dont want to pay an attny... there will be a court fee..but usually not too much.

I guess it depends on what state you are in; where I be at in MN you have to go to the Gov't center present all the documentation that states that the child is yours and pay a fee of $100 Then you have to contact social security and do a name change and so on and so forth

You need a laywer to help you get a legal name change.
Or you may only need to have your childs birth certificate amended, depending on his/her age.

Yes you can. If your child has been a resident for a year. It does cost though, but it's worth it!!

It depends of which country you live in. In my country it is a easy task, and done in a few days, but I know it could be difficult in other countries.

Go to see the clerk of the court. They have the paperwork necessary.

you have to go to the person who sign the birth certificate with you and have him give up his rights...

You will need an attorney for that.
