In Virginia does the paternal father and paternal mother have to be married for the paternal fathers name to be on the birth certificate when the child is born?

I am not a lawyer, but this is a direct qoute from Virginia Law concerning preparing birth certificates: 3. The names of the parents, except that if the mother of the child was not married to the father of the child at the time of birth, or during the 10 months preceding such birth, the name of the father shall not be entered on the delayed certificate unless the child has been adopted or legitimated, or parentage has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to Section 32.1-257 of the Code of Virginia, or both natural parents present a sworn acknowledgment of paternity. NOTE ligitimated means the parents subsiquently married and both agreed to acknowledge him as the father.

Would the children of the deceased parents go the fathers parents or the mothers?
This would depend on the Will. If not addressed, were the parents married? If not, the paternal grandparents have not claim as unmarried fathers have no assumed rights. Otherwise, if the parents were married, and no Will exist, than it would be a matter for the Probate court.

How do you change your name after a same-sex marriage in Virginia?
Beginning October 2014, a marriage certificate (including that of a same-sex couple) is sufficient proof of legal name change under Virginia state law. This is true whether you were married in Virginia or outside of Virginia and whether you were married before or after same-sex marriage was legalized in Virginia. You need only present the marriage certificate to government agencies, businesses, etc. as proof your new name. The federal government will also accept your marriage certificate as proof of name change.

Do you have to list the father on a birth certificate?
No, this is why the birth certificate does not hold up in court when the father seek paternal rights because it is not fool proof by showing DNA. If you are not married I strongly recommend you get it done though before he signs. Only the biological father is allowed to sign it and if you know the one signing it is not the father, you are committing fraud.

What will happen if the mother doesn't want the father to have paternal rights?
In the UK, if you are married when your children are born, you both automatically have parental rights. If you are not married, then you have to apply for parental responsibility rights, if the mother does not want to share that with you. This can be done by court order. After 2003, if not married but father is written on the birth certificate, that is enough to have parental responsibility and all that that entails. Not sure how it is for you guys in the USA!
