    Question How do I legally add my name to my daughters name?

    My daughter carries her fathers last name. I live in Ca. and I would like to add my last name to my daughters last name. She is five and the father and I share joint legal custody per the state of CA. What are the steps in which to complete this process?

    You petition the court for a name change. If the father opposes your motion, you would have to prove the name change to be in the child's best interests.

    If pa does not object, have him join in the petition.
