My question involves name change laws in the State of: Rhode Island
I was recently declared the legal father of my child and have a court order allowing me to change his last name to include mine (in hyphenated form) as well as to add my name to the birth certificate. I am a MA resident, but the court proceedings were through RI (that is where child lives with mom)
I've been trying to search how to go about doing this, but am a little confused. Since I couldn't find a thread specific to RI, i was wondering if someone who was familiar could quickly point me in the right direction. Thanks.
