    Default Legal name change for minor

    I have a son who is 7 years old and his father hasn't seen him in over 6 and 1/2 years. He has never contacted me for any reason so I would like to legally change my sons last name. We live in ca and I have no idea where his father is.

    I'm not sure what you mean by that.

    If he never obtained any parental rights, you should be able to simply petition a court for a name change using the forms found here.
