My question involves name change laws in the State of: California
Hi, my son will change his lastname after he gets marries in April 2011. I was an unwed mother and did not know that I didn't have to give him his father's lastname. I remarried and we did'nt change his lastname. His father since the age of two didn't have his own father in his life. He point blank chose not to care for any of his children. So my husband wanted him when he came of age to choose him and his lastname. He did and didn't relize the process it would take in California. My question is which name does his new bride take and since he will change his name a few weeks after they get married? What do they put on the marriage certificate. What paperwork do they do. What would be the easiest they process they should take. All help is needed. He is choosing the man who has loved him and I am trying to help in anyway. Thank you
