    Default Name Change for Step Son

    My question involves name change laws in the State of: California or Tennessee.
    My step son was born in Tennessee. His biological mother spelled his middle name incorrectly. His birth certificate and his social security card all has it spelled wrong. We now live in California, and has since he was 6 months old. His mother does not have any parental rights. How would I and my husband (the father) go about getting his name correctly spelled on important documents like his birth certificate and social security card?Would I have to go through the Tennessee courts, or the California courts? Can my husband do this without the consent of the mother or not? (We don't know where she lives, and don't even know if she would comply out of spite). Thank you very much!

    Now I see how you're confusing people trying to keep up with your various threads. When you say "His mother does not have any parental rights" what exactly do you mean? That she simply gave up custody?

    She gave up all visitation and responsibility of him 4 years ago.

    Again, I'm sorry for the multiple threads, I just have SO many questions regarding so many different things.
