My question involves name change laws in the State of: TEXAS
Can I change my 7 year old son's last name without the consent of his biological father?
My son's biological father has not had any contact with my son in 4 years. I did however, try to get in contact with him about my husband possibly trying to adopt my son but he said he would fight me on that, this was back in February. I no longer receive child support since it stopped back in June 2011. I want to be able to give my son my maiden name but do not know the steps or process of being able to get it done. I should also add that I am in Texas and the biological father is in California.
