My daughter has my maiden name. I am recently married to someone other than her father. I would like for her to have my husband and my last name. How do I do this? This is the only info I have found so far:
Be aware that changing the last name of a minor child does not change the identity or obligations of the child’s father. Changing a child’s last name to match a stepfather’s does not absolve the natural father from paying child support, nor will it obligate the stepfather to pay child support should his marriage to the mother end in divorce.
Doesn't explain if I need a court order for my situation.
