    Changing my sons' last name
    I have custody of my 2 sons. My husband has taken care of them and supported them for 2 years. I need to find out if I can change there last name to mine. In my divorce papers from their father, it says I have the right to make all the decisions. Does that include changing their names?

    I think that if your ex still has parental rights, you can not make any LEGAL changes without his permission---and a name change is a legal change.

    You need to talk to a local attorney to ascertain this for sure, however.
