He shouldn't have any rights after everything he has done.
IF you can prove this, if he chooses to attempt to establish visitation, use the proof to show the courts he is a danger to your child. If you cannot substantiate your claim, expect the father to be given visitation.

the only reason I would even consider to change her last name is because he ISNT exercising at ALL his rights.
huh? So if he was seeing the child the child wouldn't be confused about his name?



I came here for legal advice. Not a judgement, much less for you to mock the situation.
then maybe you should have not gotten on the deprecation train yourself.


If you do not have anything positive to contribute, please do not comment.
I gave you the answer to the question you asked, remember:

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.
