My question involves name change laws in the State of: Texas
My son's dad ran off after he found out I was pregnant. I gave birth without him there. My son's original birth cettificate shows the nsme I gave him. The state did find dad & set up child support with dad & I agreeing to using his name which is what shows on the support papers. Things went bad between dad & I. I insisted that my son's name be a merge of both original & dad's so we did as a legal counselor suggested & filled out the birth certificate name change, having a notary public stamp it & send to the correct state department. The legal counselor said nothing about how to get the child support papers amended. I've been to child support court several times yet only in front of a judge two times, dad absent of course. Because dad was not there, the judge said he couldn't amend it even with the new birth certificate as proof. Dad showed up long enough to destroy the original & new BCs then off to prison.
How do I get this fixed? I don't dare move out of this school district because of the name/BC/CS issue! Help!
