    Default Help With A Name Change or Removing Parent From Birth Certificate

    Hi, I am 17, turning 18 in April. Currently my birth certificate displays my fathers last name, but I have had little contact with him over the years, and am known by my mothers last name. I have not had any contact with my father in 8 years at all, and he has never paid child support/made any effort to get into contact with me. I wish to legally change my last name, to my mother's last name when I turn 18, but I was wondering if there is any way of having my father removed as a parent from the birth certificate?

    You can look into adult adoption under the laws of your state.
