Ex-Wife's kids

[lucylulu]

My husband's ex-wife still carries his last name. She has had 2 other children by another man, but gave the kids my husband's last name. Is this legal? Shouldn't she had given the kids the other man's last name. By the way, she and my husband had 1 kid together, so she never changed her last name to her maiden name.

She is free to give the kids any last name she wants. If she still goes by her married name, and she was not married to either of these other men, she can give the kids her last name.

Have you checked to be sure they actually are divorced?

Yes, they are divorced. So, it's ok for her give these other 2 kids the last name of my husband, even though they have been divorced for over 10 years. She should have given the kids their father's last name!!

When my biological fathers ex-wife became pregnant with her last two children she gave them both his name. They were not his children.

I was told by the very amused nurse when I gave my daughter her step-father future adoptive father's last name on the birth certificate that I could name my child Joe Blow. I am the birth mother. I can name my child whatever I wish to name her.

My ex husbands girlfriend named his son who was born in December with her maiden name.

Yes, she is the birth mother she can name her children whatever she wishes.
