    Default Name Change When the Father is in Prison

    Single mom living in California needs to know if I change my childrens last names to mine, will the incarcerated parent still be notified. We were never married but the children have his last name.He is a violent offender serving 7 years, does he still get notified of the name change request?

    Default Re: Name change when father is in prison

    As Bio Dad he has rights. Has he been established (paternity test) as Father?

    Default Re: Name Change When the Father is in Prison

    Yes, he is the estab biological father, and I understand that he does have rights, but would he legally be allowed to protest the name change. Can he? He has a "no contact" order, he cannot contact me nor the kids due to his violent assault on me when I has pregnant. He has made no attempt to contact me regarding the kids thru a lawyer.I take the the no contact as a blessing and hopefully something I can use for my side. I just want to go into this with my eyes open, and need to know if he can fight the name change or my establishing sole custody?

    He is the legal Father and no you cannot change the child's name against his wishes. He can argue this in court if he so chooses.
