	98-1315
		The use of surnames dates from the Norman conquest, when the growth of population and the development of cities required a means of distinguishing between individuals with identical given names.
		The surname, however, was not as a rule inherited from the father, but was adopted or bestowed based upon one's occupation, place of habitation, appearance, or othercharacteristics.
		It was only after the fourteenth century that surnames began to serve as hereditary family names, in part due to the contingency of inheritance of property upon an heir's retention of the surname associated with that property.

	Kreklewetz v. Scopel (June 19, 2002)
		They continued to be registered with the surname of the mother and with no particulars of the father, unless the father acknowledged himself by statutory declaration and both parents requested that the father’s particulars be provided and that the child be registered with the surname of the father.
		If one parent certifies the child's birth and the other parent is incapable, the parent who certifies the birth may give the child either parent's surname or former surname or a surname consisting of one surname or former surname of each parent, hyphenated or combined.
		Where parents are in an ongoing relationship with each other, there are, in my view, going to be very few situations where a mother will take the step of denying acknowledgment of the father of her child on the birth registration in order to have the child bear only her surname.

	Stepparent Adoption - Child Son Daughter Father Mother Step Parent Adoption - Available, Biological,
		The most common form of adoption is by a stepparent who assumes financial and legal responsibility for his/her spouse’s child(ren), and the non-custodial parent is released from all parenting responsibilities.
		State stepparent adoption laws address issues such as consents from the non-custodial parent, how long the stepparent and biological parent must be married before an adoption petition can be filed, whether or not a homestudy is required, and other requirements.
		Remember that stepparent adoption not only severs the legal relationship with one biological parent but also with members of that parent's family, including grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.

	OSCN Found Document:Application of Tubbs
		The paternal surname is said to have a tendency to identify the relationship between a father and his children whether it is bestowed as a matter of law or centuries-old custom.
		Some authorities believe that whenever the parents of a child are divorced and the custody is in the mother, the remaining bond between the father and child is at best tenuous and may be further weakened, if not utterly destroyed, by a change of the minor's surname.
		We merely hold that a decree changing a minor's surname without personal notice to a living non-custodial parent whose whereabouts are known or are readily ascertainable from available sources at hand and whose paternal or maternal bond remains unsevered falls short of compliance with the minimum standards of due process.

		If however, both parents complete the statement pursuant to section 3 but do not agree on the child's surname, then the surname must be one consisting of both parents' surnames hyphenated or combined in alphabetical order if they have different surnames.
		Surnames are not of very great antiquity; for in ancient times the appellations of persons were by their Christian names, and the places of their habitation; as Thomas of Dale, viz.
		The surname of the child continued to be the surname of the father if the parents were married, and the surname of the mother, or of a father who joined with the mother in registration of the child, if they were not married.

		Where one parent petitions for a court ordered change of a child's name, notice of the petition and of when and where it will be presented is to be served on the other parent.
		The father's rights to notice of the petition to change his daughter's surname from his to another surname and to an opportunity to appear before the court prior to it authorizing the name change are thus among the rights suspended by a felony sentence.
		The primacy of his parental rights has given way to abuse and other misconduct which, even if not specifically directed at his daughter, is likely to have an adverse and dramatic secondary impact on her.

	Wokingham District Council - Registering a Birth (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-27)
		A child can be given any surname a parent chooses, but once the surname has been recorded in the entry in the birth register it can only be changed if unmarried parents marry each other or if a child is adopted.
		The use of the mother's surname in options 2 and 3 is usually to 'keep a surname alive'. Under option 4 if should be borne in mind that there may be later difficulties if the child has a surname that bears no relationship to the surname(s) of its parents.
		Where the parents were not married at the time of the child's birth and no details of the father were entered at the initial registration, the father's details can be added at a later date, even if the parents have not subsequently married.

		Neither parent has a paramount right over the other to assign to the child a particular surname, even in those jurisdictions that statutorily mandate the child's surname initially is to be that of the mother.
		It is generally accepted that cases involving disputes over the surname of a child born out of wedlock will be resolved by determining the ''best interests of the child,'' and the party seeking the change of name has the burden of proving that the change is in the child's best interests.
		However, states may distinguish between a ''no initial surname'' case, in which the standard is the child's best interests, from a ''change of name'' case, in which a name change only is warranted if it is in the child's best interests and the moving party shows extreme circumstances warranting the change.

		A child needs a surname he can connect with for a lifetime; taking the surname of the mother opens up too many opportunities for the child to be later left without that connection.
		The surname, however, was not as a rule inherited from the father, but was adopted or bestowed based upon one's occupation, place of habitation, appearance, or other characteristics.
		Perhaps of lesser significance, the chancellor additionally found that it was not the norm in the locale for the child to have a surname different from his father's.

		A second common exception to the parental immunity doctrine involves suits in which either the child or the parent dies as a result of the tort.
		Although the immunity rule prevents children from suing their parents, children may be able to sue their minor siblings and other relatives for tortious conduct.
		Furthermore, children are permitted to sue people who stand in the place of parents or who have custody of them, such as stepparents, foster parents, adoptive parents, and grandparents, even when the law does not permit them to sue their biological parents.

		But the child shouldn't call the adopting parent "mom" or "dad" while referring to the other parent by his or her first name.
