Changing my child's last name
Hi, I was wondering how to go about changing my 5-year-old daughters last name. Her father and I were never married, so when we had her I chose to give her my last name. I have sole custody of her. I have recently married and have asked my daughter since I will be changing my last name to my husbands, would she want to change her last name as well? She does. I am not wanting to edit her birth certificate in any way, I just want to legally change her last name. So my question is that since I have sole custody of her, and she was given my last name not her biological fathers, can I change her last name without getting permission from her biological father?
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOU HELP! :)
