    Default Re: Can I Change My Daughters Last Name to Mine Father Not on Birth Certificate

    Were you married to the father at the time of birth?

    You'll need to file a motion for name change with your local court, and then prove to the judge that the name change is in the child's best interest. How would such a change benefit the child?

    As part of this process, are you prepared for dad to challenge the name change, to seek to establish paternity to be placed on the birth certificate (now or in the future), etc.?
