If you already sent in the paperwork it’s too late you’ll need to change it after you get it. I know if his name is on the birth certificate I’m almost positive you need his permission to change it but if not then I believe if the child is under 6 months old it’s free to change it.
Once you’ve turned in to the hospital no you can’t change it you will have to do it through the courts it’s around $120 now with out the other parent depends is father around are you married did he sign the BC do you have protective order?
@petals no. It will already be processed at that point. I would ask what the process but usually you have to go through the courts and seek permission from the other parent.
