Last Name Change on Minor in Los Angeles

[rae]

My son has his "fathers last name". That person has not been in his life and didnt sign the Birth Certicate. How hard would it be since not sure on the where abouts on that guy. And I would also want sole custody, so what do I do????

If his name is not on the birth certificate, this poor child doesn't even have a father, so there's one down. That means, you already have sole custody.

If you want to change his name, then file a legal name change.
