    Default Divorcing Mom - is Father's Surname for Baby Required

    My question involves naming laws in the State of: Kansas
    I'm going through a divorce, and am pregnant. I would like for the child to have my surname- will I run into any legal problems with this, as the divorce won't be final when I am due to give birth? Also, must my soon to be ex fill out or sign anything for the birth to be certified?

    Is your husband the father? If so, you should try to come to an agreement as, in relation to any disagreement your husband can ask the court to decide the issue as part of the divorce. Including the child's surname.

    My soon to be ex husband is the father, but the unborn child is not mentioned in the divorce filing, as there is no way to include a child without a name, birthdate, and sex, none of which would be available before birth.
