Golden v. Thompson

CAROL M. HANSEN, Judge,

dissenting:

I am not comfortable in reversing a trial court's discretionary ruling in this matter. It is unclear what evidence the majority would expect a father to produce to prove it was in the best interests of his child for him to carry his name. In this respect, the concept of best interests is illusive. I would rely on the trial court's hearing the testimony and observing the witnesses.
