Q: My boyfriend and I are moving in
together after 5 years. We are having a son in March. He is convinced that the
only option for my son is to have his last name. He says that if I give the baby
my last name it would alert social services that he is either not involved or
that we have problems. My reasoning is that we are not married and likely won't
so why should I call my son by a different last name to mine? Can you please
advise?
A: David's Answer: You may give the child your last name if you desire. Merely listing your last name as opposed to the father's will not trigger any report to DSS. -- David Bliven, Westchester Family Law attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
