Any alteration in the birth certificate can be done only on the direction of a court order, be it an erroneous omission or change of name/date in the birth register held by the Registrar of Births and Deaths. You have to file a civil suit seeking the said relief but your husband has to be impleaded as a respondent without fail because he divorced only you and did not renounce your child. He is the biological and legitimate father of the child hence he has got all the rights over his minor child as you do. The court will not act as per your urgency, you may proceed with your child's admission for the time being with the present name itself, go for civil suit seeking your relief, after getting it, proceed with next course of action.
