    Default Name Change Where The Father Is Not Listed On The Birth Certificate

    I'm looking for some help here.....if anyone could help, it would be much appreciated....

    I live in MA. I have an 11 year old daughter with my maiden name as her last name. I got married about 2 years ago and changed my name. I am looking for a way to change her last name.
    The birth father is not listed on the birth certificate and has not been involved in my daughter's life AT ALL. meaning, no visitation, no child support, nothing.

    Is there any way to change her name without him being notified. It was not a good relationship and would be afraid if he were notified it would not be a safe environment for myself or my daughter.

    any help would be appreciated.
