Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina

last name

I was living with my boyfriend although we both knew i was pregrant but not sure if he was the father, so when he was born not wanting to put a burden on him I gave my son my last name. We are married now and there is no doubt that he is the father how can I change the birth certificate and give my son his fathers last name and list him as the father.

Re: last name

It can be done, but there is a very specific process that must be followed to get it done. You should talk with an experienced family law attorney to discuss the steps and the costs involved. I will be glad to meet with you to discuss this process, and I invite you to contact my office at your earliest convenience.
