I gave my daughter her dad's last name. We're weren't married....

@ek620 which is still my maiden name (Carroll) but I can have it changed to the father's at a later appointment

@ek620 that's how it is here.. I've already asked but

Since I never got my name legally changed to his my labour and delivery just told me it would have my legal name

So the baby is someone else’s & not your husband’s? Check in to the laws in your state. In some states if you are still married then he is legally that child’s father even if the biological father is someone else.

@mrschanandlerbong95 well when I went in with my daughter ibwad married and I don't remember signing anything either

I don’t remember ever being asked if I was married, but I also never filled out the birth certificate. My husband always does it 🤷🏻‍♀️

@mrschanandlerbong95 well then I don't even habe to say I am married do i

@ambers14 what state do u live in

Well with my kids, I got to put whatever last name I wanted. I chose my husbands before we married for my youngest and my maiden with my oldest.

Whatever is on your ssc is your legal name.

@keeondracarroll01, Your name doesn’t automatically change to your husband’s name when you get married. You have to submit paperwork to the social security administration & get a new ss card with your new name. If you didn’t do that then your legal last name is still your maiden name.

@ek620 I have no idea all I know on my marriage thing says Boyd but all my other info says carroll

@snoopaloop011 the thing is my child I am having is not my soon to be EX husbands

Did you submit the paperwork to legally change your name after you got married?

Legal last name but ultimately the babies last name is your choice.. my sons last name is hyphenated because I wasn’t married to his dad
