    Question Does an Acknowledgment of Paternity Change a Child's Last Name in Mississippi

    My daughter is 6 years old and after 6 years of battleing with her Father about signing the birth certifcate, he finally signed an acknowledgement of Paternity last week. My question is once he is added to the birth certificate will her last name automatically change to his or Do I need to get a letter notarized saying he does mind it staying the same? How do I go about making sure her last name staying the same as mine. He said it doesn't matter to him.

    You'll need to do a legal name change through the state/court.

    Ask your local court clerk where you can find the name change forms, since you and Dad both agree on the change it should be very simple and easy.

    Ooops, sorry, that's what I get for reading too fast. I now realize that you both want the name to stay as it is- that's even more simple- don't file for a name change.
