my daughter is almost 5 now...her biological father is a dead beat dad...his name is on her birth certificate and she has his last name. He was only around for the first year of her life, and does not pay support. I am currently remarried living in Florida and my husband accepts my daughter as his own. How can i change her name (to my married name) if i don't know where her biological father is?? and even if we did know where he is (last i heard he was living in a motel somewhere in vermont)...i know he wouldn't consent to the change just to spite me.
any info would be appreciated on fl name change laws, etc.
thank you.
