My question involves a child custody case from the State of: California.
My Wife had an affair 5 years ago resulting in the birth of a child that I've raised as my own since day 1. The biological Father is not on the birth certificate and is not present in the child's life at all. My Wife used her maiden name as our child's last name on the birth certificate.
Our child refers to me as her dad and we are anticipating the day when we sit down to explain everything. Meanwhile, we would like for her to have the same last name as we do.
There will be no contest from the biological Father.
How can I proceed with having our child's last name changed?
Kind regards,
