What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Virginia
Hello. My fiance and I broke off the engagement. There was no wrongdoing by either party. Since then she has found out she is pregnant with my child. She came into the relationship with a child from a previous relationship. In anticipation of our marriage, we changed his last name to mine. Now that we are separating, she wants to change the current child's name back to her surname. And so that both of her children have the same last name, she is telling me that the new baby will not have my name.
I have no problem reversing the name change on the current child but I would like the future child to have my last name. What are my rights in this upcoming matter?
