    So how long have you know the child, how often have you visited with the child, why would the child want your name.

    What does the other parent think of the name change

    I have known the child from birth.. she just wanted to test me and another guy , I was told from the beginning that the girl was mine anyway I am going to court oct 7 to work out visitation... my daughter is special needs so I have had to learn her spacific care instructions, as for the mother wanting the girl to take my last name I'm sure she will not be cool with it , I'm not wanting to fight her on it I would just like for my daughter to have my name , my question is will a judge allow that for me or is it another one of those things that only the mother can decide,, I have other children so I understand fathers have limited rights regardless to what we would like to believe.
