Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
Changing the child's last name
My son's father denied paternity and refused to be on the birth certificate. Now that paternity has been established, he wants me to change my son's last name to his. He does not live in the same state as us, has very limited visitation, and has not paid child support. Can I be forced to change my child's last name?
