    Default Last Name Change In Mississippi

    Ok here's the story......
    My daughter is now a 13months old and her father has never really been around. He's never payed child support of course i haven't filled for it either. Well she has his last name and his name is on the birth certificate. We had it changed after the first birth certificate was issued. At the time I thought he was going to be coming and seeing her and we had agreed on joint custody. We never made the custody legal though. Since she was about 2 or 3 months old he quit coming to see her and he has only poped in and out of her life for like maybe a couple more visits. I recently contacted him about coming to see her and he said yes but i told him he had to pay me child support. Well he payed me twice only $75 and then after that he said he couldn't afford to pay it so i said then you couldnt' see her. I thought that was only fair as i have been the one raising her without any help at all from him. Well now i am tired of this all and he has stoped coming to see her he didn't even call her on her birthday or christmas, we've heard nothing from him. So I want to have her last name changed to mine and his name taken off the birth certificate with him having limited rights to see her if any. If anyone could help with advice with this I would truly appreciate it! Thanks

    You can't change her name without his permission. You can't take his name off the BC period. You can't demand child support without a court order. Get one. Expect Dad to file for some kind of custody. He will get it.
