You may be able to file and pay for a name change if you are in fact the biological father and listed on the birth certificate, but this will depend on if you are currently in a relationship with the child's mother as well. You will need to speak to a lawyer for advice that can look into your specific situation and offer you advice.

I am 21 can someone other than my biological father legally become my father?
Step-father, yes ... just "father", at your age of 21, I would think not. When I married recently, my wife's sons are in their higher 20's ... their last names did not change - they keep their prior identity, which was their mother's former married name.

What rights does a father have to my baby if he is married to someone else and we were never married basically he committed adultery when my child was conceived and i was unaware that he was married?
He has the same rights as any other father, the fact that he was married to someone else is irrelevant. But since you were not married he needs to establish paternity in court so he can petition for visitation or custody and also pay child support.
