divorced Brittnie: Officially divorced as of the 15th of Feb. We have a child whom he has never cared for and only seen at my expense, when can I change my son's last name to match my maiden name? What are the legal steps to going about that? :-/
Re: divorced BluAngel: I'm not sure, but I believe you have to file to get the birth certificate changed. I'd be interested to know what the process is myself.
I 'm so sorry that your ex is such a creep for not being interested in his child! My ex has a child by a previous marriage that he doesn't talk to or make an effort to have a relationship with and he doesn't pay a whole lot of attention to our daughter, either. She always comes in second to a party, etc. I am pregnant with his third child and he wouldn't come to the sonograms, doesn't ask how the baby's doing etc. I can say that I sympathize with you! Like someone told me, when they "grow up" and get some maturity, they will regreat it.
We sure got the better part of the deal-my daughters smile just makes up for everything!
Hang in there!

Re: divorced 5years: I think you need to talk to a lawyer to do the name change. It can be done, but because your son is a minor, his father may have to agree to it.
I can certainly understand why that would be important to you. Good luck.
Re: divorced CaptainBligh: Sorry to hear that Blu. Your ex is a real piece of sh*t for being that way. What a coward.
I may be splitting up with my wife but I know that my son and to be son or daughter will always be loved by his father and I will be as much a part of their life as I humanly can regardless on how I and my x feel about each other. They are MY children as well as hers.
Anyway,
Best wishes! ;)
Re: divorced elijah13: you would need the father to give up his parental rights........why they have them if they never cared for them from the beginning is beyond me. I too have 2 children 17 and 14 from my first marriage.......never paid a dime in support and only spent 8 days with them in the last 17 years. Has always worked off the books, biggest LOSER in town. But he won't give up his parental rights........I would love to know how you make out
Good Luck
