Changing my ds sir name to mine as now dont want to get married.

[mum2oliver]

My ds is 3 in march.I am due another in March too.Iv tries to sort out getting married but my dp is the sort that boringky plods along and so we wont be getting married unless he sorts it,that wont happen!
I really want want the same name as my children so I want to know about changing sons sir name to mine.Can anyone advice?

ask at reg office
think your dp will have to sign something if his name is on the birth cerf

dh and i wernt married when we had our children and all i know is if i had given the children my surname my dh would have had to adoped the children in order for them to change their name

dont know the rules now that was 10yrs ago

My friend has done this and think she had to use a solictor to help her.... her ex also had to sign something..
not much help sorry.

I'm unmarried and my dd's have dp's surname - we are intending to get married!

Rather than changing the lo's surname why don't you change your name by deedpoll - dead easy to do - and probably a lot easier than changing the los's names!

Have you discussed thiswith your dp? Have you told him you may register the birth of ds2 with your surname? You never know this may give him the kick up the arse that is needed!

Havent spoken to him as he is up his own arse at the mo.Having probs.He doesnt listen but dont know if its just me being hormonal amd oversensitive.I jus know that Its really important to me that we all have the same name.Iv booked a registry office three times now and something has gone wrong or I have prob gone over the top.Im all mixed up.
Oh dear.

Can you convince him it will be less hassle to get married? If he's that lazy he should take your word! It's just two personal appearances at the register office 2 weeks apart and gives you all so much protection in one fell swoop, not just the same name. I know it's not romantic but how cool to announce "we're married" and surprise people!
