What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida
Is it legal for a mother to change her minor child's last name from her maiden name to her new husband's name without the consent of the bioloical father? Paternity was not established until after the name was changed at no fault of the biological father. He attempted to have the matter cleared and was told that the new husband will be adopting th child so no paternity necessary. The mother had the biological father sign affidavit of non-paternity for the adoption. Two years later, the mother and her 'new husband' divorced and she is pursuing current and retro support from the biological father. He is concerned because he spent the past two years without the ability to know his daughter, believing that she was adopted? How does he prove or disprove the adoption. The child's mother advised the court that the child was not adopted by her stepfather and that she just changed the child's name for personal reasons. He is quite upset because he was misled by the child's mother and now is being tortured in court. Help Please!
