It depends on where the natural father is and his rights. The best thing to do would be for your husband to adopt your son if he wants to. An uncontested step-parent adoption is not very expensive. I would need more information though to see if this is a viable option for you. Please feel free to give me a call if you would like to discuss the matter in greater detail.

You can do a name change for the children rather easily, but you have to have the father served notice of the application for name change. A lawyer can do this procedure for you or if you feel confident, you can do it yourself by going to the civil clerks office at your local Superior courthouse and ask the clerk for the appropriate forms.
