I was just recently divorced in the state of PA and her father gave me full custody of her. He doesn't visit her and I get no support money, which is fine with me. At the time of her birth, he did sign the birth certificate, so she has her last name. I want to change her name. I know he has no problem with this.
The other thing is if I ever got married again and my husband wanted my daughter to be his, would I have to get my ex-husbands name removed from the certificate or can my husband, at the time, adopt her?
I'm trying to figure out the best order I should proced with. Name change first? Or remove the name from certificate? I would think removing his name from the certificate would make changing her name easy.
Any help would be really be apprieciated. Thanks for taking to the time to read this.
