I'm a U.S. citizen residing in New York. I recently married a woman of English and Belgian citizenship who has a 5-yr-old daughter from her previous husband of Austrian and Israeli citizenship. The child has an English passport only. Her biological father doesn't pay any child support and doesn't have visitation rights to or custody of the child. We're now interested in changing the child's legal family name to our name. Is there any way we can do that without requiring the biological father's consent?

thanks

I believe I was wrongfully dismissed from my job. I was accused of sexual harrasment in the work place. I feel this is incorrect and need to know the laws to figure out if I have been wrongfully accused or if I am guilty of sexual harrasment.

Is there a set guide lines of what is concidered sex harrasment in the work place?
