    Default Can I Change an Infant's Name Without the Father's Consent

    My question involves name change laws in the State of: Mississippi

    When my son was born i gave him his fathers last name. his father has 2 last names so it is hypenated but his dad only gave him one of his last names but now i would like for my son to have my last name. i haven't received his social security card nor have i sent off for his birth certificate yet .. i was wondering how do i go by changing my sons last name to mine.

    Has Dad signed an acknowledgement of paternity?

    If you petition for a name change, dad will be entitled to notice of the proceeding and can oppose your petition.
