Changing Name of Father and Childs Last Name
My question involves name change laws in the State of: Ohio
My son is 7 years old and on the birth certificate it has the name of his father but my last name. I also filled for child support and have received some payments. I just recently found out that the name I met my child's father under was not his real name. His father has since came back into our lives and now wants his real name on the birth certificate and wants his last name for our child. How can I go about doing this? What problems will it cause me since I did not know that I met him under a fake name?

So you are saying that you want to change the child's first name as well as his last name? That would be a hard thing to do to a 7 year old.

No just his last name and the fathers name on the birth certificate

Ok, I understand now. Its going to take a trip to court to establish his paternity and to change your son's last name.
