According to the Suffolk County courts, unless you agree to the change, the father can only ask for a name change after paternity is established. That would be a separate legal action.

Well i LIve in Nassau county and I went to my lawyer and got my information and even if he has the greatest lawyer he is not getting that last name change because first off me and him were never married. So thank you
Uh..reality check.
You're not going to be the one making that decision. Marriage has NOTHING to do with anything.
Except that when a man isn't willing to marry you, that should tell you a LOT about what you might look forward to in terms of how committed they are to supporting and raising children with you. If he's established as the legal father, he's got an above average chance of having his last name added to the child's last name, resulting in a hyphenated last name.
We'll I already asked a lawyer that knows the laws and I got my information so even if he wanted he couldn't p.s don't get smart when your not a real lawyer who knows

We'll first off I never wanted to get marry to him so I don't know what your talking about.. Second I already got my information from a lawyer that knows this family court stuff so thank you for the advice but I don't need it no more
well, look at that. The OG effect carries over to this site as well.

Yep, bull stuffin'.
from the link Mr K provided:
Usually, when both parents agree who the father is, they will agree on a last
name and give the child that last name on the birth certificate (and it does not
have to be the same as the father or the mother). This is easiest to do at the
hospital when the child is born but can be done later if both parents agree. If
both parents do not agree, the one who wants the change can petition the New
York State Supreme Court asking the court to change the child’s last name and
saying why this would be in the best interests of the child. This can be initiated
by the unmarried father once legal paternity has been established. You should
talk to a lawyer about this procedure.
Yes indeedy. The OG effect alive and kicking!![]()
