What is the name of your state? Missouri
I had a son in 1991 and did not sign the birth certificate and I have paid my child support and have seen my son over the years and he stays with me sometimes. He started high school and has always gone by my last name. The school needs it to be changed on the birth certificate and I need to know what it takes to get this done? His mother and I agree on the name change so it's not a problem with us, just need to know if there is an easy way of getting it done with out going back to court.
Thanks,

You need simply to go down to your local county courthouse and ask for the proper documents to fill out. There will be court filing fees and fees for amending the BC.
As long as everyone is in agreement, it should be fairly simple.

You should start your own thread, it's less confusing that way.
