As far as I know, legal adoption is the only thing that can change a minor child's last name. It will cost in legal fees though if it is contested.

Can a minor change his or her name legally even if the child has an order of protection against the father?
It depends what country you are in. In Australia an 18 yo is legally an adult and thus can do so. In The United States, a legal adult (18 in most, if not all 50 states) can! Someone under 18 would need an adult to Petition for Legal Name Change on their behalf unless that minor had already gone to court and been declared an "emancipated minor" by court order. For California, Yes. You can look up California's Code of Civil Procedure sections 1775-1779.5. 18 or older, you can do it without your father's permission in California.
