Legal Question in Family Law in California
Who names the baby
I am 5 months pregnant and no longer with the father of my child. He lives 2 hours away, I rarely see him, and I'm not sure how involved he'll be in my childs life. Do I have the legal right to give this child my last name even though he will be named as father on the birth certificate?
