He could file a motion to change the childs last name...Is he paying support? Is there a support order? Is there a visitation order?

Re: can the father of my son change his last name
He can petition the court to change the child's name. That does not mean the court will do so.
Re: can the father of my son change his last name
i know the court needs a good reason to change the last name. his reason is that he wants his last name carried on. would that be a good reason
Re: can the father of my son change his last name
What does that have to do with the best interests of the child, which is typically the judge's primary concern in these situations. If the answer is "little to nothing", it's not a particularly compelling argument. Can I say a judge won't make a ruling that makes no sense? No, but most judges are sensible.
