Greetings All,
I'm new to the Forum, but I have appreciated reading all the invaluable wisdom of this community. I can only hope I'm not being redundant in asking this question, but I have had difficulty in finding answers.
I am just over two months into transitioning male via HRT. My husband and kids are amazing and supportive. And I think our little family is going to thrive. But I do have some concerns from a legal standpoint. I will be changing my name soon. When I do, I know there's a lot of different documents I will need to update. Will I need to update my children's birth certificates to ensure that no one disputes my parental claim to them in the event of an emergency? Also, will I need to update my marriage certificate? I wasn't sure how this worked, or if having the social security number suffices because it is consistent.
I would love to hear from others who married and had kids prior to transition and the approach they took in this area. Thanks so much for your insights in advance! I will of course be glad to weigh in on other forms where I I'm able.
Best,
Al
