well, you should probably tell them why you are attempting to change the name.


If the guy has been established as the legal father, then you will be required to notify him, or at least make whatever efforts the court deems necessary, before the courts will allow the name change. Since it is his child too he does have a right to object to the change.
The reason being is not wanting to confuse her. Also, her father got involved with drugs more than once. I don't want him having any rights to my daughter.

I'm scared of informing him and he acting crazy or trying to be a part of her life. He is not the best person.
