    Default Change Child's last name

    In Alabama, can a mother change the last name of her child to match her new married last name if the biological father is not listed on the birth certificate and the child currently has her maiden name? The biological father does NOT pay any court-appointed child support to the family at all. What forms would be necessary and what cost may be involved?

    Default Re: Change Child's last name

    You can ask at the courthouse if they have forms you can use, and what the filing fees would be.

    It's possible, and if the biological father does not object to the petition it will likely happen.
