    Default Changing a birth certificate

    I'm the father of 2 girls and right now on their birth certificate is their mother's now ex-husbands name as she was married to him when they were born, My question is how do I get my name on their BC and his removed? I have joint physical and joint legal custody and have been declared their father through the courts. Can I do it without the mother's consent? Or do I need her consent? I just got done going to court with her and I tried to change their last name from her now ex's to mine, since she is now re-married and don't carry the last name and the courts denied me. But I really want my name to be on their BC, because the way it stands now if I ever needed to say pick them up from airport and something I could not prove I'm their father as far as their BC goes. Thank-you

    You have to go through the court and convince the court that the name change is in the best interest of the minor children. As the court just ruled against you, it seems unlikely that you would prevail in a second round of litigation. Discuss your situation with your lawyer.
