Hello,

My daughter is 2yrs old and her birth certificate does not bear her fathers last name.

Paternity was eventually established through court, but the certificate was never changed.

Am I able to change my daughters last name to mine without his consent? He is not in her life and has not seen her since she was 2 months old.

Your response would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you:)

No. Your going to need his permission for a name change. He IS the legal father.
