    Default Re: Can You Change Your Child's Last Name to Your Boyfriend's Name

    Should we infer that you expect the child's father to object?

    The court must consider the child's best interest. A court would be hard pressed to find a reason why your child's surname should be changed to that of an unrelated person, and to a surname you don't even share.

    Default Re: Can You Change Your Child's Last Name to Your Boyfriend's Name

    If/when you and your boyfriend break up. You would probably want to have your daughters name changed to your new boyfriends name. I do not see any Judge agreeing to a name change as long as the man is only a boyfriend.
