When you fill out the birth certificate you can give your baby any first, middle, last name you choose. If the child is already here & you want to change his/her last name -go to the courthouse and obtain the proper paperwork and I believe you have to put an ad in your local newspaper for a period of time (that way it gives anybody that would want to protest a chance to).

Can you get in trouble for giving your baby a different last name from your husbands?

You would not get in criminal trouble for giving your child a different last name from your husband. The law, however, assumes that whatever last name you give the child, if the child was born while you were married (even if separated for years), then your husband is the father of the child. Not too many years ago courts would not even entertain evidence tending to show that someone other than the husband was the father of the child, as the social stigma of illegitimacy was so large as to outweigh the rights of husbands who were in fact not fathers, or of non-husbands who were. Today the presumption of the husband's paternity is a "rebuttable" presumption, meaning you are allowed prove someone else is the father, by genetic tests, for instance, This lets the husband off the hook for child support, and makes the actual father liable.

How can a couple who has a child and have cheated on each other try to become closer and stay together if the wife is giving her husband a rought time?

In short: it doesn't sound like it'll happen since the wife is giving her husband a rough time & not taking accountability for her actions-she cheated, too, & is no better than he is. You do not have to be close or stay together to raise a child. Co-parenting is very possible so long as both parents are civil & have his or her best interest in mind. The child's upbringing is a lot more important than the marriage; if it matter to him or to her, neither would have cheated on the other. If the wife is giving the husband a rough time in regards to seeing the child, go to court & let a judge decide how the family structure will function.


Can you get the father of your child for child support even though your husband signed the birth certificate?
