QUESTION
unmarried parents and a child's legal birth name
Asked on Aug 04th, 2014 on Family Law - New York
More details to this question:
If a woman gives birth to a child out of wedlock and legally names the child with a hyphenated last name from both the mother and father, does not that give and/or imply any legal rights for the father?
1 ANSWER
Not necessarily. But it's not important, either. The father has the same rights no matter what the child is named.
