Child was born in Maryland in October 2006
The certificate for the birth record was filled out by my fiance. He filled everything out and turned it in without my knowing. I had a c-section and a very difficult recovery, so I was out of it for several days after the surgery. We have now split up and my ex gave our son his last name, although I wanted him to have my last name. I did not sign the birth certificate and the father is also not listed on the birth certificate. I never gave permission for my son to be named after his father. Is this legal? My son is 5 months old now and I want this to be changed. What can I do? I am pretty sure my ex will not sign a document allowing our son's name to be changed to my last name. But everything I have read says the mother has the right to name the child anything she wishes. But he went behind my back completely!!
