the written consent of natural father is required for change of name of the kid in school records. the kid cannot be adopted by present husband as the father is still alive. a mother using her name only in the school records is acceptable and legal.
There is another way to overcome this problem.
Anupma, the biological father will be entitled all his rights, including "shared custody" unless he consents for child being adopted by your second husband.
