小孩可以换去妈妈的姓氏？

问:

我跟我的前夫离婚了，他没有付孩子的赡养费，没有探望小孩，没有尽一个父亲的责任。我现在想把孩子的姓氏换去我的姓氏，可以吗？
我跟我的男朋友没有结婚注册，现在分手了，我可以把小孩的姓氏换去我的姓氏吗？

答：

出生和死亡注册法令1957第13(a)(1)条文，只要父母有结婚注册，他们的孩子通常是父亲的姓氏。
出生和死亡注册法令1957第13(a)(2)条文，如果父母没有结婚注册的情况下生下孩子，孩子可以跟母亲的姓氏。如果孩子的亲生父亲愿意承认孩子是自己的，那么孩子能跟随父亲的姓氏。
一旦孩子的姓氏是跟父亲，除非父亲同意签署国民登记局的文件，同意让小孩换去母亲的姓氏，不然，孩子是不能换去母亲的姓氏的。
法令没有注明必须有父亲的同意，这个要求是国民登记局内部定下的要求。
虽然说小孩的亲生父亲同意签署国民登记局的文件，同意让小孩换去母亲的姓氏，但是最终决定还是由国民登记局决定批不批准你们的换姓申请。
早年的JPN，只要亲生父亲同意，JPN会允许你换去你的姓。但是，近期，由于太多这类的申请，JPN也懊恼，所以都一概不允许/不批准。原因是，亲生父母之间的恩怨，不应该报复在小孩身上，更不应该浪费JPN的时间精力去处理换姓，就只因为亲生母亲和亲生父亲离婚/分手了，这太幼稚儿戏了。
JPN的柜台会给你一线希望，教你请律师，在法庭申请换姓。JPN的柜台会告诉你，只要法庭批准，JPN就会跟从换姓。但是，当你请律师申请，JPN的政府律师就会在法庭里反对你的申请，说法律不允许你换姓 + 他们也不同意你换姓的申请。然后你的申请就被法庭拒绝了。
如果你不信，你可以花钱请律师试试，成功比例就如买彩票，买希望。

其他能改姓的情况

如果孩子的生父失踪超过7年，孩子母亲可依据法律程序登报寻人，再由法庭判决此人已经身亡，然后向法庭提出改姓申请。
如果父亲已经去世的话，母亲只需在提出申请表格时，将死亡证书一同呈上即可申请换姓。

母亲要做遗嘱移交小孩抚养权给她的亲人

如果抚养权归母亲，母亲没有立遗嘱，母亲突然去世，孩子还未满18岁，抚养权自然回归父亲。孩子继承母亲的遗产自然由父亲以法定监护人的身份管理。当然，母亲的父母可以申请作为孩子的监护人。

我的个人意见：

其实很多女生都问这个问题，就是要把渣男的姓换掉，换去自己的姓。你换小孩的姓，难道你看着小孩，虽然带着你的姓，你就能忘记过去，当以前的事情什么都没有发生过？你这样不是自欺欺人？
你换了孩子去你的姓，他的朋友会更好奇嘲笑他没有父亲，是野孩子，连自己的父亲的姓都没有。这样孩子不会难受尴尬吗？
我是希望这些女生可以成熟的面对人生，不要因为以前的贱男伤害过你，你就把小孩给换姓了。如果以后你结婚/再婚，你为你的现任丈夫生小孩，小孩跟现任丈夫的姓，你打算再帮你的大儿子/大女儿再换姓吗？
所以，国民登记局现在也不会因为孩子的亲生父亲同意换去母亲的姓氏而批准换姓，因为这样太儿戏了！

Births and Deaths Registration Act 1957

13a.Surname of child

(1) The surname, if any, to be entered in respect of a legitimate child shall ordinarily be the surname, if any, of the father.

(2) The surname, if any, to be entered in respect of an illegitimate child may where the mother is the informant and volunteers the information, be the surname of the mother; provided that where the person acknowledging himself to be the father of the child in accordance with the provisions of section13 requests so, the surname may be the surname of that person.

15.Registration of name of child or of alteration of name

(1) Where before the expiration of one year from the date of the birth of any child the name by which it is registered is altered or where a child has been registered without a name, a name is given to such child before twelve months have elapsed since the date of birth, the Superintendent-Registrar having the custody of the register in which the birth was registered upon delivery to him of a certificate in the prescribed form specifying the name as altered or as given signed by the father or the mother or the guardian or the person for the time being having custody of the child and upon payment to him by the person procuring the name mentioned in the certificate to be entered of such fee as may be prescribed, shall enter forthwith in the register without any erasure of the original entry the name mentioned in the certificate as having been given to the child; and such Superintendent-Registrar shall after stating upon the certificate the fact that the entry has been made, send forthwith the certificate to the Registrar-General who shall then cause a corresponding entry to be made in his register.

16.Registration of objectionable or undesirable names

Where it appears to the Registrar that the name of a child sought to be entered in a register of births is objectionable or undesirable he shall refer the matter to the Registrar-General and the Registrar-General may cause such name to be registered or not to be registered as he shall deem fit.

Question:

I divorced my ex-husband, who has not paid child support, visited our child or fulfilled his parental responsibility.
Can I change our child’s surname to mine?

Answer:

Under section 13(a)(1) of the Births and Deaths Registration Act 1957, if parents are married, their child usually takes the father’s surname.
Under section 13(a)(2), if parents are not married, the child may take the mother’s surname.
However, if the child’s surname is already that of the father, the child cannot change it to that of the mother’s without the father’s consent, which is a requirement set by the National Registration Department internally, although not explicitly stated in the law.
Even with the father’s consent, the final decision is made by the National Registration Department, which may or may not approve the application to change the surname.
In the past, the National Registration Department used to allow such applications as long as the biological father agreed. However, in recent times, due to the overwhelming number of such applications, the National Registration Department has become reluctant to approve them. This is because the animosity between the biological parents should not be directed at the child, and it is a waste of the department’s time and effort to process the surname change application merely because the biological parents have divorced or separated.
The National Registration Department may advise you to seek a lawyer and apply to the court for a surname change. However, the government lawyer from the National Registration Department will object to the application, stating that the law does not allow it, and they object to the application. The success rate of such applications is low, and it may be like buying a lottery ticket, where success is uncertain.
Other circumstances where a name change is allowed are if the biological father is missing for more than seven years, or if the biological father has passed away, and the mother can provide the death certificate as evidence when submitting the application.
If the mother has custody of the child and wishes to transfer custody to her relatives, she should make a will to specify her wishes. If the mother does not have a will and passes away suddenly, the custody of the child will revert to the father if the child is under 18 years old. The father will also become the legal guardian of the child’s inherited estate. However, the mother’s parents can apply to become the child’s legal guardian.
Personal Opinion:
- Many women ask the question of changing the surname of a worthless man to their own surname. However, changing the child’s surname to your own surname does not mean that you can forget the past and pretend that nothing has happened when you look at your child. Isn’t this self-deception?
- If you change your child’s surname to your own, the child’s friends will be even more curious and ridicule him for not having a father and being a wild child who doesn’t even have his father’s surname. Won’t this make the child feel uncomfortable and embarrassed?
- I hope that these women can face life maturely and not change their child’s surname just because a worthless man has hurt them in the past. If you get married/remarried in the future and have a child with your current husband, who will have his surname, do you plan to change the surname of your eldest son/daughter again?
- Therefore, the National Registration Bureau will not approve the change of surname even if the biological father of the child agrees to change it to the mother’s surname, as it is too childish.
