		<description>Dear Attys:

May I ask for legal opinion regarding changing of surname of my son.

We registered his name using my ex-partner’s surname. We are not married, and he refuses to provide the needs of my son. Is it possible to delete the father’s surname and change it to my surname?

I hope to hear for any legal advise. Thank you.

all the best,
Single_Shayne</description>

		<description>Dear Sir Fred,   

I just wanted to ask what should we do our babies father.   

To make my story short, this guy is an american(mix black and white) jackson mechigan U.s.a. his origin. He&#039;s first visit in philippines last 2003. I met him last 2007  when my first came in cebu  to continue my studies. Now, we been lovers for eight months before i got pregnant to him while i&#039;m still at studies that time. Three months When i learned that i&#039;m pregnant and i informed him   right that time. When my due is coming he went back to states and no communications at all since he blocked me from my emails. So i lost hope that time. My child was born and When my child turned into three months he came back to us. Now i had him after my baby got one year he open up his real status that not just only my child he had in philippines he got four boys in states and five girls in philippines in different mothers including my child(youngest among the rest). I never ever asked him a money for support to us, i just until he give me. Now the problem is all babies mother he had include me we want to file case for  child support. His typically arrogant guy tough and dominant.  My question is there&#039;s a chance that american government will give support for the babies? Though their father can&#039;t stand up the responsibilities. I don&#039;t know if the american embassy will give time these problems? What was the the heavy supporting documents aside DNA?    

Wish to hear your reply attorney soon. I really don&#039;t know how to start filing the case. Thanks</description>

		<description>Dear SIr,

Good Day, I just want to know regarding about that topic. I am a illegitimate child. Before I was taken by my mother I used my fathers surname but my mother changed it. Since I was in elementary I&#039;m using my moms surname when I graduated I try to get a new copy of my Birth Certificate at NSO and then I just found out that I&#039;m just using my mother&#039;s surname but it is placed at the middle name and I don&#039;t have a surname.What shall I do?As of now I am already married and I&#039;m using my husband surname. Is it ok that I&#039;ll just let my birth certificate like that, because i already had a surname or i still need to switch the entry of my surname which had been place at the middle name?..I&#039;m waiting for your reply..Thank you and Godbless..

		<description>Hi Attorneys,

May i please request for a legal opinion about my situation?

What do i need to do to get my daughter&#039;s surname into mine? Me and my partner got separated due to misunderstandings and family conflict. I did not know that when we separated, she was carrying my child. She decided to have our daughter named after her then boyfriend&#039;s surname because they were planning to get married anyway. It was also because her parents influenced her to use her boyfriend&#039;s surname as well. Their relationship did not work out and they did not get married. I found out about my daughter and eventually worked things out for us to be reunited. Everything&#039;s okay now and we are planning to get married next year (2012). My daughter still carries that person&#039;s surname today and we want to change it into mine before or after we get married. Please advise. thank you so much...</description>

		<description>Dear Atty.

Can i change my surname? I&#039;m an illegitimate child. Unknown po ang nakasulat na father ko sa birth-certificate ko, though i am sometimes financially supported by my biological father. He is a Filipino by blood but before i was born, na-approve po yung application niya sa US at naging american citizen afterwards. He tried to claim me daw po sa embassy para maging citizen din pero sad to say, hindi xah recognized bilang father ko sa birth-certificate ko. May habol ba ako sa financial support kahit american citizen na xah??Can i change my surname and put his name in my birth-certificate. 
I am already 19.
I will look forward to your advice. This could be life changing lalo na at laging sinasabi nang stepmother ko na wala akong rights humingi nang financial support. Thank you so much!

		<description>Questions:

1) Can I write down the father&#039;s name on the hospital&#039;s birth certificate even without the presence of the father of the child?

2) By putting his name, does that mean an acknowledgement from him?

3) We agreed (documented) that he&#039;ll acknowledge the child, but I won&#039;t allow to use his surname. Is that possible?

4) Can I ask for his monthly support in court since his name is on the birth certificate? (even without his presence when the certificate was filled out)

5) He also promised a monthly support (documented) but we didn&#039;t have any communication as of this writing. Can I use it in court, if necessary?


Thanks in advance!!!</description>

		<description>I am the father of a 5 year old daughter in Philippines. I passed my citizenship to her and she has US passort, and the mother and I got married. I have always been a part of my childs life and I always travel to the Philippines to spend time with my daughter every since she was born. For example last year I was in the Philippines 7 times, and as of this year, 2011, I have been there 3 times.

Also I have supported my child since she was born, and now the mother waste the money I send her and dont take care of my child. She is not being responsible with my child or the money I send. 
 
 The mother likes to go drinking with her friends and getting drunk. I have asked her several times to stop drinking, but she dont. Her drinking is causing neglect with my daughter.

The last time I sent money, 700 dollars, to the mother was to pay for the apartment, water, electric and my daughters tuition, but she used the money to go drinking with her friends. She has since lost the apartment cause she didnt pay rent and I dont know their living conditions now. I didnt know that she was not paying the rent until I arrived at my apartment in the Philippines when I discovered the mother not there and the water and lights was off. She had been lying for all month telling me everything is fine.

 My question is how can I get custody of my child and bring my child to the states to live with me. I dont trust the mother, because if she will not maintain our home, and pay my daughters tuition then she will not make good decision for my child.

Concerned father....Please Help!!!</description>

		<description>Hi Attorneys,

Hope you could help me with this matter. We really need advice for this matter.

hi! i am currently applying for a passport, sss id, etc. and i have to submit documents to support my application. however my brother and i have a problem..we&#039;re using our father&#039;s surname since elementary until now that i am working. i have a birthcertificate issued by our municipal registrar..however when i requested for an authenticated birthcertificate from the national statistics office, i was surprised that i don&#039;t have a name and last name on my certificate.. i do have my middle name (my mother&#039;s maiden name) on it. Turns out i am an illegitimate child. when i tried to fix it NSO stated that the municipal registrar failed to pass our birthcertificate signed by our dad before he died. They were not legally married.

My mom&#039;s married now and they had two kids, she was now using her new husband&#039;s last name, but we&#039;re not using his. Instead we&#039;re going to use her maiden&#039;s name. 

We want to fix our birthcertificate issued in NSO, 


My question is where should we put her maiden&#039;s name in our birtcertificate, in middle name or in last name? dpt ba wala kami middle name. and ung apelyido nia sa pagkadalaga ang ilalagay nmin sa last name nmin? hope you could give me a concrete answer. thanks

here is my email add : maylyn_dioso@yahoo.com
