Problem in changing last name and surname of child after re-marriage


04-Jan-2024 (In Divorce Law)
I've been facing challenges in changing my child's name following my second marriage, as the child is from my first marriage. Despite having completed the child adoption process and the gagatte procedure, the school refuses to recognise the new name, insisting on a birth certificate for the change. However, it seems impossible to alter the name on the birth certificate. I'm uncertain if there's any legal process in India that allows my child to take on my identity after my second marriage.

You need to seek a relief under the civil law for the first amendment/change in your son's name. His foster father may be given the right to attach his name. However if you're changing it the second time for other reasons, gazette notification is not sufficient to being such changes. And the same requires to invite a civil court order, depending on how the facts are coming into the play. Meet with all your previous changes papers, facts and relevant documents, so that an accurate advice can be given. Feel free to connect. Meetings are subject to appointment and availability.
