Does changing a child's last name to new husbands name relinquish father of child support?
Actually, there is nothing in a name. You can change your child's name to your favorite actor's last name if you like. Relinquishing child support from the father would only take place if your new husband got permission from both you and the child's father to legally adopt your child. This would in turn mean that your ex-husband is not legally your child's father any more. Which can cause other issues. For example, in the event of your ex-husband's death, your child would not be eligible for SSI benefits because the child is not legally his anymore.
