My children's father has no contact with them he hasn't seen the children for 3years we have been separated for 5years I have just started receiving £5 per week child support I have had 3 payments so far. My children wish to change their surname they are aged 11 and 9 where do we stand on this matter?

I assume you are in the UK, but in the states, it requires parental (both) consent. Is your ex willing to allow this?

Can you speak to him? If you can get his consent, it is sure to be much easier.
