According to the common law name change (in Massachusetts), if the mother is unmarried, she has say over the child's name. The father can try of course, but I don't believe he can force the mother to change her child's name.
I am sure it may also depend on whether the father signed the birth certificate or not.
That depends on where you live and whether you parental rights have been terminated.
In the United States, parentage would first have to be established either by being listed as the father on the birth certificate. DNA testing or voluntary admission on record with the court. When that happens, adoption cannot occur unless both parents consent. If your parentage has never been legally established, or your parental rights were terminated, either voluntarily or involuntarily, yes, she can do it.
Most Likely, yes, as it is the FATHERS child, therefore, the child is of the fathers blood making it 'ok' to use HIS surname!
No she can not do it she will have to take the husbands consent.
Yes, as they don't even ask anymore.
THE ANWSER NO WAY
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!!
No, the executor has no right to change a will. Only the testator can change a will.
no
In Illinois, you must be at least 18 years old to change your name without parental consent.
Yes a 16 year old can legally change their surname without consent I know this as I took legal advice on behalf of my daughter so she can change hers at 16.
A king can not impose taxes without its consent
no,
No they can't, unless you are notified for the changes in writing.
It depends on what you mean by a lease: if a written lease is signed by both parties for a specific term, then the terms cannot be changed without mutual consent. Even if an oral lease any changes would have to be with your consent. If you do not consent to any change of the terms of the lease you can refuse to sign it and move out.
