Re: changing my son's last name to my new married name
That is a loaded question! Sounds as though you have a good idea who your son's father is, but didn't identify him. Depending on how old your son is, you may have issues regarding support and parentage.
Persons who are not lawyers can sometimes provide advice that backfires, and that may well have happened here.
Please contact Volunteer legal services of Pierce County for a referral to the family law clinic if finances are an issue, if not, you really should talk to a family law attorney.
Hope this helps. Elizabeth Powell
