How to Change a Child's Name After Moving to Another State Due to Domestic Violence
My question involves name change laws in the State of: CT and GA
My son was born in CT back in february but due to my ex-abuser i fled the state and moved to GA. The father isn't on the birth certifercate. But i would like to change my child's name to my last name. Is this possible without traveling back to CT?

Why did you put any name other than your last name on the child's birth certificate to start with?

To amplify what JK says, after you've been living in Georgia for six months you may file for the name change there. The father is going to have to be served (you can use certified mail if he is in a different state than Georgia).
