My question involves paternity law for the State of: MN, and possibly WI depending on where the baby is born
I recently found out I'm pregnant with my first child with my husband. I opted to keep my maiden name when we got married - he was very angry about this as he wanted me to take his last name, but I don't believe in that tradition - I wanted to keep my last name. The child is his, but I do not want the baby to have his last name. I want the baby to have my last name. However, when we talked about this, he became irate and threatened to get a lawyer to make me put his last name as the baby's last name on the birth certificate. I don't want to hyphenate either, I just want the baby to take my last name.
I live in MN but I live close to WI and could just as easily have the baby there. As the father and as my husband, does he have any legal right in either state to insist that the baby take his last name? This will impact where I end up having the baby - any information is appreciated. Thank you!
