If I have sole custody of my child can I change his last name?

Yes. Just keep in mind it's a costly process. Btw, if you hate guys who smoke weed, drink too much and lack financial responsibility maybe you shouldn't have kids with them.

Condoms are cheaper than court costs. Just a suggestion. Edit: Oh he HID them from you.

Well, that just means you had unprotected sex with him before being with him long enough to find out who he truly was, thereby still making you irresponsible and still making my points valid. Thanks!

Only if he gives up full rights and more than likely he might get supervised visits with the problems he has.

If you have sole Physical Custody, no. If you have sole Legal Custody you will have to take that to court so that a Judge can make the determination. If the father objects you will probably lose.As a genealogist I would like to point out that half of your child's genes came from his father's side.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
