    Serve the father or any prospective father of the child. Both parents have a right to be involved.

    If there is no legal father, then you can choose a surname when you establish paternity, by making that request on the AOP form. If there is a legal father, things become more complicated.

    You have to file a parentage suit in court in order to do this. He may know Jax is his but he needs to establish paternity. The court would have to establish parentage and then they could order the child has dad's name. AOP cannot be used to CHANGE a child's name.
