QUESTION
Am I legally bound to give my son his father's last name at the time of his birth?
Asked on May 07th, 2014 on Child Custody - Michigan
More details to this question:
I was only married for 4 months and now separated. I am also interested in getting an annulment due to fraud and false identity. I am 32 weeks pregnant. I will list him on the birth certificate but I do not want him to have his last name.

Under Louisiana law, the child would have your husband's last name, unless agrees otherwise.

If you file for a divorce prior to the birth of the child (it is doubtful that there is a basis for an annulment) you can ask the court for permission to give the child the last name you want.

It is certainly not illegal to name the child as you wish.
