    Default Daughter Wants Her Last Name Changed, Father is Incarcerated

    My question involves name change laws in the State of: Kentucky. My daughter has the last name of her biological father even though he's not part of her life. He was in prison from when she was 1 until she was 8. He was out of prison for about a year before he got put back in. He will not be getting back out until she is close to 18 and she doesn't want to have his name anymore. I'm sure if he gets a say he will fight this even though he doesn't even attempt to contact her. Can we get her name changed with him in prison and having never been a father? Thank you for any help

    Default Re: Daughter Wants Her Last Name Changed

    You misunderstand. He ****IS**** her father, no matter how uninvolved he is in her life. He ****WILL**** have a say in this proposed change.
    If he refuses to voluntarily join in the petition, then he must be served with the petition you file. The court will listen to both sides and decide what is in the best interest of the ***CHILD***.,
