You indicate they have "Contact", but what is the status of Custody? If the Father has visitation, partial or shared custody, legal& or physical....No, you cannot change the Surname of the child without the Fathers explicit consent!!
Only with a court order.
IF THE MOTHER HAS SOLE CUSTODY
custody should be with both parents so there should be no problem
If there is a custody agreement in place through the courts, the mother cannot take the child out of state without the fathers consent. If there is no agreement in place, the mother does not have to have the fathers consent.
It could be, if you don't have custody of the child.
If there are court orders regarding visitation and child support and custody, you will need his and the courts consent. The court orders have to be followed.See related question link.
I get the feeling they are not married. if there are court orders for custody, visitation and child support she can not do this without the other parents consent and the courts consent. Otherwise she will be breaking the courts orders which is illegal.
If the parents are married, yes. If one parent has sole custody that parent can consent.
yes
No, not if your mother has sole physical custody. If there is a joint custody arrangement, you'd still need the cooperation of both parents to make it happen.
