I live in Tennessee and I am currently pregnant with a due date in a couple of weeks. The father of the child and i are not married and I was planning on giving the child my last name. This did not make him very happy. He says that if the child is not going to have his last name he is not signing the birth certificate and he will want a dna paternity test. He also stated that if we go through the courts to get a paternity test and he is the father that the courts will automatically change the last name to his.
i would like to know if this is true or not. does the courts have the right to change the child's last name to his after the paternity has been determined?....please help
