    Question Step Daughter Wants To Add My Last Name

    My step daughter has wanted to hyphenate her last name with mine for years. She does not want to ask her father again because he keeps saying no. Is there a way for her to do it on her own? She is fifteen. We live in Arizona.
    Thank you.

    Her mother can try to convince a court to change the child's name against the father's wishes. I would not expect that to be an easy thing to accomplish.
