This query is : Resolved
Single parent for my 9 year old son. Due to bad marriage my name on passport is having husband surname (Muslim surname though I am Hindu). Same surname on Kid's UK Passport and Birth Certificate.
I put Hindu surname for Kid in school and that is differ than on his passport.
Currently I am staying in India with my parents and Kid.
I use my maiden surname as that is on all my documents except passport.
Now if I make my son nominee then variation in name could create problem. I am suffering so taking insurance and nominating my kid so that he could get some to continue his studies.
How to resolve it?
Note: Divorce case is pending. It will be dissmissed. On my passport ( After marriage my husband surname added but Husband name is not mentioned so can I officially get back my maiden surname. I don't want Muslim surname as it was ditch.)
Please help.
Thanks

Whether you want to accept it or not, the father is the natural guardian of a child till it attains the majority age and also the law necessitates the biological father's name in most of the documents, so you have changed them to convenient your taste but it cannot be legal. There are certain procedures to be followed in this especially when the matter is of the child's interest. You wait for the divorce to happen and then decide what is to be done on this.
