Anybody CAN CHANGE THEIR NAME, and it has no relevance with your Divorce. However, he CANNOT CHANGE FATHER'S name in all his records.

Denial of custody and access irrelevant.

FATHER HAS RIGHT to receive maintenance from his son, if he becomes unable to maintain himself, and son has income to support his father.

SON HAS RIGHT to get Mtn & his part of your ancestral property

IF SON DIES, you also have to provide maintenance to his wife lifetime.

Laws support Woman, not Man. Bear with all these. 50% voters, a big voters bank of Politician. weaker section now ruling HE MAN

generally court will not deny father vvisitation rights . if custody has been given to mother father would get visitation rights .

if court has denied you even visitation rights it would not absolve you of your responsibility for maintenace of your son
for his education etc .

Even if son has denied to meet his father during the ongoing divorce petition between his parents and also changed his name even then father has visitation rights to which no court can deny. Maintenance might have been claimed by such litigating wife is she is not capable to maintain herself and her son under her custody.

Change of name by son is not a cretorian for denying custody and visiting rights.

But, nobody can change their name before attaining 18 years. Only their guardian can change their name when they are minor.

If you son is not a minor, then it is upto him to decide whether to leave with you or to visit you.

If the son is minor the father can file suit to restrain his mother from changing his name without his consent.

He can always enforce his right for visitation of child.

EQUAL RIGHT TO MAINTENANCE FOR WOMAN & MAN:

CHECK PERCENTAGE OF MAN GETTING MAINTENANCE FROM WORKING WIFE??
IS NOT LAW PROTECTING WOMAN & NOT MAN??

CAN MAN FILE 498, OR DV? OR 125
DIVORCE FILED BY WOMAN GRANTED QUICKLY.
DIVORCE FILED BY MAN TAKES YEARS, AND GIVE SEC 24 INT MTN PENDING LITIGATION, CAN MAN GET IT?

My Dear Tom, We are Advocates and know this Fact,You says "agree with both experts [except with "Laws support Woman, not Man"]" Can you give example where Law Supports Man, and not Woman. Pl Talk about LAW ALONE, Nothing else.

Tom,

I SAY LAW SUPPORT WOMAN, NOT MAN.

And I will say so till our Judiciary recognize and change it.

The father has visitation right till he is in custody of the mother.Sons name can not be changed during minority of the son by mother without express consent of father,more particularly after divorce.Both of the rights stated above are enforceable at alaw by father.

Now about liability or duty, the father is duty bound and liable to maintain his minor son even after divorce and even though he being in custody of the mother.
