Are you in the US? If so, you can name him anything you want. Not in the US? I bet there is a way around it. Talk to a lawyer. Good luck.

What on EARTH are you talking about? "with the Commonwealth"? What's that?\n\nInheritance laws, in absence of a will, are usually pretty explicit. Husband (if any) gets half, children get the rest split evenly (Can vary between jurdistictions).  A proper will, drawn up by a knowledgable lawyer, should be enforceable. They're pretty hard to break unless you can show coercion... Failure to properly identify you in the will (calling you a niece/nephew instead of a son/daughter could invalidate the will or at least guarantee you the proper share, with a good lawyer).\n\nIf assets are hidden or missing, well, that's not easy. You should be able to use tax returns etc. to detemine where all the money was; as heir, you should be able to get the executor of the estate access to those documents; if any income wasn't reported, then, yes, likely the tax "bastards" will take quite a bit before you see anything.\n\nThe short answer to any legal question is - "it depends. Consult a good lawyer."

Don't you know what your real name is? I certainly don't sorry that I can't be of more help. Ask your mother or father or someone else close to you.

By law, if the Will is signed by your exhusband with wittnesses signatures, it is a legal document. By law it MUST be read and what instructions are contained in the Will MUST be carried out. If your son refuses to hand over the Will to be read, you can take legal action to have it publicly viewed & read.\nI would contact a lawyer for more detailed information.

This is so sad, you are probably going crazy trying to think of ways to contact your boy.  Is there anyone that can get a message to him.  This child needs to know you want to see him, you want to be in his life but because of his mother it is not possible.  The poor child, this is another case of adults being selfish.  I guess my answer is, contact a lawyer to see if anything can be done.  God Bless you, I feel for you.

God! Just give out all the info for your poor son. I see why you can't find him. He probably ran from YOU! Maybe you can't find him for a reason. Can we have his Social Securtiy Number and Birth date and his signature too?

In most states in the US and provinces in Canada, names must be registered and names that could be construed as detrimental to a child's development (rude, punny, cruel, etc.) are not allowed to be registered. So obviously she wouldn't be allowed to do that. And you could petition the court to allow you to have a say in naming your son, that any name she chooses must meet your approval. However, I truly doubt she would try to ruin her own son's life with a name like that. I don't know any mother who would. Talk to your lawyer.

Your Wife, Husband, Parent, or the one thought to be the next of kin, will need to go and get a Guardianship, from a Judge, if the one you speak of is unable to give you the proper Power of Attorney needed.\n\nCarson:

I work in a bank and what u should do is have your mum contact a solicitor and have her give you / someone she trusts rights over her affairs. It is called the Power Of Attorney. If your mum is ill her doctor can sign a form saying that she is incapable of looking after her own affairs, and should that day come then the "power of attorney" will have authority over all your mums assets. This is why it is important that it be someone she trusts. There is no need to change all of her things into someone elses name. What I would recommend is that your mum's will be kept up to date so that should THAT day come all of her assets will be divided up as she would have wished.

I think that you sure go to the Citizen's Advice Bureau and get some help. The father of your child should be helping you, I would suggest that you take him to court. But the C.A.B would be able to advise you on how you can go about this and they should give you all the help you need

Contact your courthouse of general jurisdiction.  They have the right to hear your case and order a change in your name if appropriate base on information that you provide to the court.

First call your county clerks office and ask about your states laws on legitimation rights. When my 17 yr old son was born, I was a single mom. His dad and I had split when I found out I was pregnant and he moved away. So I gave my baby my last name instead of his. When my son was 4 mos old he came back home and upon finding out he was a father wanted to reconcile our relationship. When our baby was 8 mos old we were married. We went to our County clerks office and obtained a legitamation form. It's a simple form that both parents fill out (you do not have to be married), sign it (both parent's) before a notary public, and send it in to have your child's last name changed to the father's. There is a small fee, in 1990 it was $20. When the process is completed all records of your child being born with your last name are sealed, and a new Birth Cert is issued to you. It is a good thing to do because unfortunately my husband was killed 6 mos later in a car accident, having this process completed helped me to recieve his Soc Sec benefits. Without this I would have had no way of proving his paternity without paying $10,000(+ or -) in legal fees to have my husband exhumed and dna tests ran. I'll see if I can find out any more info for your states paternity laws and get back with ya. Let me know how it turns out. GOOD LUCK!!
