i reside in Texas, am unwed and pregnant. the babys father and i are unlikely to marry. my first child has his fathers last name and being that he is 14, it seems unlikely he will ever be adopted should i marry. to keep things simpler i have opted to give the baby my last name (maiden name).
the babys father has threatened to wait till the delivery, and i am "drugged up" to manipulate the birth certificate to show his last name. he seems adament about this and i dont know what my rights are. i thought the birth mother had the final say. in my opinion, if he is so adament about this then he should have no problem signing an acknowledgement of paternity at the same time he signs the birth certificate, and can i make that a stipulation to signing anything? please help. thank you.
