So what does Jenna Celine <my last name> <her last name> do when she gets married?

Jenna Celine <my last name> <her last name> - <husband's last name>?
Jenna Celine <my last name> <her last name> <husband's last name>?

And what about their child when they get married?

<Jenna Celine's daughter> <my last name> <her last name> <father's last name> - <husband's last name>?

I don't think these people think this stuff out.

I think you mean if/when the mother gets married and yea...I agree. Of course just because she remarries doesn't mean the kids have to take the stepfather's name.

good luck

I understand what you're saying but not every situation is gonna be like the others. This is off the topic so we'll just leave it at that. The mom and I have talked and all is well. We came to an agreement that if she did, then it would be as a middle name. More than likely she won't do anything as she realizes a name doesn't tie the daughter to her. We could name our daughter Donkey Kong and we'd both still have the same ties. So with that...

She 3 months old so i'm guessing...a diaper change lol.


She tried just telling me that just because my name is on the certificate, doesn't give me any legal rights. BULLSHIT! That's exactly what it gives me and the notary made sure I knew that when I signed the document. Not to mention my DNA is all the rights i'll ever need.

Wow. I had no idea. I just assumed your daughter was older.

I'd talk to a lawyer. Were you married to this woman?

Nope never. I could've easily taken her to court but I didn't want to do that to her. I live in a father's rights state (nevada) have a nice job (she's unemployed) live on my own with great credit (she lives at home and has crap credit) and have no problems with the law (she has tickets, history of being fired, etc). Not to mention she was put in a situation where she ended up signing over complete rights of her son to his father. I'm sure the court would frown on the reasons behind it. I really don't see a way i'd lose should i have taken her to court.


but she was good enough to stick your Johnson in her,unwrapped?

That's a little harsh. From the sounds of it, they were in a relationship when the child was conceived. It doesn't sound like she was just someone he wanted to stick his unwrapped johnson into. JMO

It's not the least bit harsh. There's a world of difference between "in a relationship" and "in a committed relationship", especially from a child's perspective. Even birds are smart enough to build the nest before they lay the eggs.

Dood...you are headed for a world of heartache. Just don't come in here 2 years from now telling us how she has destroyed your life and financial future. Only reason I would even try to give you a headsup is cuz I went thru a very similar situation with someone I trusted. She broke bad on me and charged me with child support from the day we split up (3 years later).

I have custody of my daughter now but it cost me over $20K to get it. From someone who "was" my best friend.

Live and learn, you have been warned.

I'm talking generations, not remarriages.

QFT.

The OP is going to get owned...

Seriously MaverickBP, if I was a family court judge & heard about what you're doing to this woman, she'd have a new best friend, me, and I'd screw you so bad you'd be crying in a corner when I was done.

I appreciate it I do, and it has been listened to. I just asked for a little advice is all. I didn't ask for the people who came in here asking me why I didn't wrap it up...people misunderstanding and thinking we're horrible parents...and every other off topic comment. I know to be wary because things can change. I know to protect myself. Doing something is alot easier said than done but I am in the process of covering my ass. I'm not gonna post all about it though for anyone who knows me or her to read about ya know?

Which is a good thing you're not and your comments are unwelcome. Read the OP where I asked for things like this to be left out of this thread. The fact that you mention "what i'm doing to this woman" means you have no idea about what's going on nor did you bother to read anything i've posted. I'm doing nothing to this woman and she's doing nothing to me.
