My question involves name change laws in the State of: California,
My child has my seconds sons dads last name because he was who i was with when i was pregnant. so he is not the father, his Biological father has only seen him a handful of times and he is now 5 and its been over 3 years since hes seen him. He has no interest in him never has the few times he seen him was to stop me from putting him on child support. I have been married for 3 years and my husband has been around since my son was 2 he is the only father he knows. What can i do ?
You can file to change your son's name AND serve the child's father so that he can show up and dispute the name change. Expect that trying to accomplish a backdoor adoption in this way most likely will not work. Why haven't you filed to establish paternity, child support, and visitation?
