Best Answer

It depends on the circumstances and details and the laws in your jurisdiction. The legal name change would need to be approved by a court and the parents would be notified unless their parental rights have been terminated. If their rights have not been terminated they could appear at the hearing and object. The judge would hear testimony about the reason for the name change and any objections and issue a ruling.
