    Default Name On Birth Certificate

    My question involves name change laws in the State of: Ohio
    My future wife lives in OH and is carrying our child. However, she is still legally married and was told she cannot get divorced until after the baby is born.
    1. Is this accurate? Filings had begun prior to conception
    2. Can my name be on the birth certificate as the legal father or can she just leave it blank until paternity is confirmed?
    3. Can the baby have either my last name or her maiden name?
    Thanks in advance

    Your girlfriend is married to someone else and pregnant by you... (future wife??? she's already someone else's wife)

    In Ohio, this is correct.

    Unfortunately, you are NOT the legal father. Her husband is.
    3. Can the baby have either my last name or her maiden name?

    She can name the baby anything she wants under the sun.
