Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

If I am divorced and my ex-wife kept my last name instead of changing it and she is now unmarried but pregant with someone elses child. Can she use my last name on this child birth certificate if I don't want her to. She will not tell me who the father of the child is and I have know way of finding out.

Is there a legal way that I can fight her on this?

When you married your ex-wife, she chose to accept your last name as her last name. It is now HER last name. She can certainly name her child with HER last name. There is nothing for you to fight. It is not your child, and it is her name.
