You will have to go through the court if you want to change your 3 year old child's last name. This is true even if the father has nothing to do with your son.
If you are unmarried and the father of your child wants nothing to do with the baby then you can give the baby your last name and be sure to register your baby's full name (including the surname ... last name.)
Yes you can. The legal guardian decides.
Yes. Why wouldn't you be able to?
sorry but not with out a court order saying you can with out his permission
I gave my son my last name. Now the father wants me to change the last name to his. Can the court require me to do change it?
Yes, you can file a legal name change for any reason, as long as it isn't to take the legal name of someone famous. You can change your name to his last name without being married. It is just cheaper court costs if you were married.
No, unless the biological father or the child himself requests it.
You need to have parental consent in any case. If your real father has parental rights, he may choose not to let you, but if he has no parental rights (such as if your step-father has adopted you) then you only need his and your mother's consent.
Not unless he is the legal guardian.
no
Yes, a father can change his child's last name. However, this depends on the custody arrangement, and who has primary custody.
If the father wants custody rights, this would be usable in court.
