    Default DNA and Name Change

    My question involves name change laws in the State of: Georgia

    I want my baby to have his biological dad's name: he doesn't want to sign the paternity aknowledgement.

    Do I need his permission from the biological dad ; a DNA test has established him as the father.


    Thank you

    Default Re: DNA and Name Change

    You can normally give the baby any surname you want, as long as your purpose isn't fraudulent.

    To get a DNA test of the father, you either need his cooperation or a court order.
