Ive been googling and reading various bits of info but Im still really confused so any help would be very much appreciated!
Dp and I arent married, we have 2 children (6 and 4) and when we registered their births we gave them his surname, in hindsight I wish Id looked into things properly. Anyway..
If we were to marry we have said that we would both take each others surname but are undecided about hyphenating them as yet, I have read on here about using the two names without a hyphen so I guess mine could be 'there' somewhat, this sounds promising at the moment. I wouldnt want to be 'Mrs Dp's surname' and would like to keep mine. (Could he stay as Mr hissurname and I then be Mrs mysurname?)
I am most confused about the best way to go about things so that I can have the same surname as my children as I feel left out somewhat. If Dp and I got married would the childrens surnames change 'automatically' so to speak, or would we have to then use the deed poll service?
Blimey Im confused, apologies if Im rambling here.
