Re: Child - Father's Name issue

Merely mentioning of your husband as father of your child from previous marriage does not mean that your present husband becomes the father of your child. Ask your husband to adopt the child as per law.

Re: Child - Father's Name issue

yes, merely baptism does not make the current husband as the father of the child unless adoption takes place which he may still do under Hindu law

Re: Child - Father's Name issue

Dear Madam

your question is confined to possible problems your child may face "when he goes abroad for studies or on a business"; well he will not face any of the problems you have mentioned;

Baptisation and/or adopting a surname is different than inheriting someone.

As on date, your child is the legal heir of your ex-husband who was a Hindu; legally, your child is entitled to inherit his property, if he has left any.

Please let me if you are wanting your child to have legal rights of inheritance qua your present husband's property, if any.
