i went through that with my oldest and my husband just adopted her and it was done they even changed the birth cert. to his age and everything when she was born. she knows he is not her real father but her real father only did one thing for her and that was buy a pack of diapers when she was a month old. and that's only cuz he wanted to see her. but i also talked to him about the adoption and he okd it because i told him i would nail his butt to 7 yrs back child support and i wanted it in cash. plus my attorney dug up trash on him so he really couldn't fight it. but also me and my husband just adopted my 2 granddaughters and they too now have our last name. in some states they want it to where the father has NO contact for a year. that means no child support, no visits nothing. so i would call an attorney that gives a free consultation and see what they tell you. but if it was me i would let your husband adopt him.

First you'll need an attorney and he'll have to get a consent for name change or adoption from the boys Father then you'll probably have to go in front of a judge to have it granted and legalized. All states and attorneys are different but my daughter did the same thing, which mounts to an adoption because your husbands name would be placed on the birth cert. as the Father more than likely and it cost her $500.00. In some states if the Father has had nothing to do with the child and not paid support in X amount of months over X amount of years then you don't need the natural Fathers permission. I'd call a few attorneys in your area and just ask what their basic fee is for adoption in a case like yours.
Good Luck.

Okay...first...is his biological father involved in anyway in your sons life? If he is you will not beable to change your sons name without his permission. You can see if he will give up his parental rights to his son. IF he does that he is no longer obligated to pay child support for the time he signs that paper on. Than you can legally change his name. If you don't know where he is and he has not been involved with your son at all, you can ask a lawyer to help you to terminate his parental rights. They can put an add in a newspaper of the last place you knew he was, and he has 90 days to see it and respond, if he does not respond in those days his parental rights will be terminated and he can have his last name changed.
If you lie on any court document just remember you can get charged with pergery. If you don't want the father to be involved in his life in anyway and doing this would cause him to want to be around your son, I would advise you not to open up a can of worms. Good luck.

As the first dude said, I never heard of a husband in law. If you are going to call him your husband and keep having babies by him then he needs to marry you. After that You can go see an attorney as the other lady said and get your HUSBAND to adopt your child.

Go to a family law attorney and have a petition drawn up so your husband can adopt your son.

Any Canadian citizen might use any first or final call that they want, as long as they use the comparable call for all purposes. (you won't be able to be Jane Doe at artwork and Dane Joe someplace else.) A criminal call exchange is pronounced as there is no thank you to validate your own identity while you're making use of a distinctive surname on your corporation dealings, colleges, and so on. you're waiting to alter a number of your identity over without a criminal checklist, whether that is not likely which you would be waiting to alter credit taking part in cards, and so on. without formal documentation of your call exchange. on account that ALL identity might desire to be interior the comparable call to be seen criminal, I propose which you flow the criminal path. call exchange by way of marriage is loose, i think of that is approximately $one hundred in case you initiate it for different motives.

you cannot leagally change your child's name to your new husband's name w/o the permission of the biological father's consent or if he gives up his parental rights and then your husband has to adopt him in order to change his name. best wishes

Ask you son about his opinion., If your son agrees, then seek and attorney or go to your county business building and ask them how to. If your son says no, then it;s no and forget about it!>
