My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Missouri. My Son's Father refused to sign his birth certificate and has not been involved in his life. Do I need his permission to change his last name?

A quick glance right here indicates that the other parent should be at least notified. It may depend though on whether or not your ex is actually the child's legal father.

Since he chose not to sign the birth certificate does that indicate that he has no legal rights over the child? With no legal rights do I still need his consent?

Child support has not been established. My ex is the child's biological father and acknowledges that, but refused to sign the birth certificate, support him, or be involved in his life. I was under the impression that without being on the birth certificate, you have no legal rights. Am I wrong for assuming that and do I still need his consent?

How old is the child, and whose last name does he currently have?

CountyClerk actually I have read the links that were provided, and if they had answer the question that I was asking I wouldn't be here would I? If your not going to provide help and just be rude, go troll elsewhere. Thanks!

Dogmatique My Son is 6 months old and currently has his Father's last name. I am asking for clarification because all links discuss Father's with rights. If he hasn't signed the birth certificate doesn't he not have rights?

Yes, notification IS required. It was in the links you were provided. I saw it there myself which is why I asked you the question. No, he's not required to sign the child's birth certificate. In fact, he SHOULDN'T sign the birth certificate until he has a DNA test done. No, he DOESN'T have to pay child support unless a court has ordered him to do so. Yes, he still has limited rights to the child, you are claiming to be his.
I'm even going to be nice and give you yet ANOTHER link to read and see if this spells it out any easier for you. Try here
