Re: remarraige and adoption
On remarriage of the women, the child retains the last name of his father. Please give me complete facts to render a complete opinion, e.g. what is the position of child's father? is he alive? has he remarried? what is the custody order from court? etc. etc. Please ask a spcific question giving all posible facts and not an abstract question with selective truth.

Firstly adoption by the second husband is must for any change in name.In some case the openion of child matters but strictly speaking he does not have a say till his minority.Give respect to the child's openion.

The child will retain the last name of his biological father, unless the child is adopted by the new husband.
