    Default Can the Father Have a Child's Last Name Changed to His

    My question involves paternity law for the State of: PA
    My boyfriend is on his son's birth certificate, has paid child support and exercised steady visitation since the child was 2 weeks old, can he now make the mother change his last name to his ??The child is 4 and beginning to write his name. He has asked the mother many times and she refuses! I think since he pays 900 a months and has the child 8 days a month she should. He is also fighting for more visitation, because she moved closer to our home.

    Well, the good thing is that the court doesn't care one iota what you think.

    A name change will require court action. It generally boils down to best interest.
