My question involves name change laws in the State of: Tennessee
My story is long and complicated but here is the abbreviated version:
When I was 16 yrs old I got pregnant and my baby's father was with me throughout the entire pregnancy.
My problem comes in the day my son was born.
His father was there only long enough to sign the birth certificate; after that he went back to Mexico and I. Haven't heard from him since. He abandoned my son and has never called or supported him in the least bit. Six months after my son was born I met someone and has been the only father my son has known. I don't want to add his name to the birth certificate, I just would like to know how I can get his biological father's name off the birth certificate. What I also would like to know is how I can change my son's last name to my new boyfriend's and take his biological father's last name off. Thank you!
