    You can't file for abandonment, you may use abandonment as grounds to change the name, but I doubt if a court will go along with it over the bio father's objections.

    A better alternative will be to have your new husband adopt. In either case, I would consult a local Family Law attorney. They will know the mood of the local courts in matters such as this.
