1. Legally speaking, a child's name right is decided by both parents, and it is not necessary to take the man's name or the woman's name. In most cases, it is not necessary to enter legal proceedings.
As for the right to name, the law does not explicitly mention the need to take the father's surname, so the law will give this right to both husband and wife. Among me, there are also cases where the first child has the woman's surname and the first child has the man's surname, which mainly depends on each family. Therefore, if the naming right of children is to be judged in the form of law, the possibility of winning the case is basically low, or there is no need to enter the legal process at all.
second, of course, if there is a contract agreement in advance in life, then both parties will definitely do it in the way agreed in the contract, and many couples will sign marriage agreements before marriage and so on.
For example, a husband and wife will sign a marital property agreement or a prenuptial agreement before marriage, and these agreements will clearly indicate the terms of married life, among which the surname can also be set. If the child's surname is clearly defined in these prenuptial agreements, then the probable probability will be carried out according to the contents of the prenuptial agreement contract. Of course, this is not 1% certain, mainly according to both husband and wife.
Third, it is relatively simple to change the name of a child now. We can consult the local police station where the registered permanent residence is located to see what materials to bring and go directly to the scene to handle it.
