Question by arizona mom: After a divorce,when minor children are involved, I need free legal advice on the fathers rights….?
Is it legal for the custodial parent (mother) to use a fraudulant last name for their child in school and when registering their child in organizations such as dance classes,athletic leagues,church,pagaents etc. against the non-custodial parents wishes? My husbands ex-wife is doing exactly this in our town. She refuses to refer to their daughter by my husbands last name (which is on her birth certificate) even though he has talked to her many times on this issue and it is confusing there daughter who is 12. Does my husband have a legal right to stop her from doing this?
This is to C_Bar: I did not think that the mother could change her childs last name unless the biological father gives up his rights to the child. My husband has weekend and holiday visitation with their daughter and faithfully pays child support and this woman is still giving their daughter her new husbands last name.

Answer by cyanne2ak Actually yes there are serious legal problems with it. You need to go see a lawyer right away. It can cause horrid problems for the children now AND in the future.

Question by Goldbunny: What are the Rights of a Father who is Going Through a Divorce and the Mother is refusing to cooperate?
My brother is going through a divorce right and his soon-to-be-ex-wife is absolutely refusing to let him see or even speak to his 3 children under any circumstances. It is driving him to constantly drink and even thoughts of suicide. Are there any loop holes that may help to even have partial custody of his kids to just to even spend anytime with them? I appreciate all help and advice.
Best answer:
Answer by Arthur W Either obtain a temporary custody order of the kids or at least get a temporary order autjorizing visitation rights forn Dad from the courts. It will be temporary only until such time the permanent custody/visitation hearing is held. Without any type of temporary court order defining this area will result usually in what is happening here

When both parties before the court that the case decided not to look to the Court that a foster parent under the same conditions for the birth mother? I know that the law stipulates that both the mother and father are equal in his eyes, but that’s assuming they are both biological parents?
