A Judge in a court of law will determine if a parent needs to pay child support or not and how much. The judge will take into account if you have rights to the child or not. The fact that the mother changed the child's last name is irrelevant to the payment of child support. Its still your child no matter the mum has changed the name.

No, taking the father's last name is not a requirement. Demonstrating that the child is actually fathered by the man is a requirement. That may require court-ordered tests or affidavits. Having been married to the father can make things much simpler.

No the child does not need to share the last name of the father to collect support. My youngest child does not have her dads last name and Ive been collecing for ten years.

Yes. Paternity and not names creates a child support obligation.

No, the child's name doesn't affect the court order. Paternity is established by DNA not the names chosen by people.

The child's name being changed does not change who the father is, nor mean that the father is freed from his financial obligations towards the child.

No. The name does not matter, as long as the individual is the biological father.

What last name to give to a teen's baby?

It depends. Probably the moms. However, it's up to the parents. You do have a choose but often the child gets the fathers last name if he is on the birth certificate. Think of your baby and relationship with the father. Are you still together? Will the baby have a part in its fathers life? If the answer is yes I would suggest giving the child the privilege of having their fathers last name. You could also hyphen if you wanted to...


Is it LEGAL to give a baby a last name that is neither the mothers OR fathers last name just a random last name is this possible?

Yes, i don't see why it wouldn't be. In tradition the baby is to have the fathers name though, for in the old days the male of the house "owned" the child.


If a child does not have the fathers last name does the father still pay child support?

Yes. The child does not need to be named after the father for him to be obliged to pay child support. He needs to be the biological father, that's all. Child support obligations arise from being the biological parent of a child and not on the child's name.


What happens if mother gives baby fathers last name and he never signed and is denying the child and is not the father in Pennsylvania?

The baby's last name is irrelevant - in the US, parents can give their children any name. Before support is ordered, paternity would need to be established through marriage of the parents when the child was conceived or born, acknowledgment, or genetic testing.

How a child have her father's last name but he didn't sign birth certificate?

I'm not sure if this is the policy in every state, but the mother can give her baby her last name or the fathers, whichever she chooses. The father doesn't have to sign the birth certificate. This seems strange, i know. But with my children, my husband wasn't there and i filled everything out myself in the hospital. My sister had a child with her boyfriend at the time, and she decided to give the baby her last name, it was never questioned by anyone. There is no law stating the child has to have the fathers last name.

If you mean that the mother changes the baby's surname, of course.If you mean that the mother changes her surname to the father's (the same as the baby), of course.
