    Default Name Change In Texas

    The father of my four children has completely abandoned them, and has not seen them in over 3 1/2 years. I want my children named after somenone that cares for them.....in our divorse decree he was awarded supervised visitations only....he has not fulfilled that agreement once. I do not know where he is, or if he still even alive......How can I terminate his rights completely, and change their last name to my maiden name??

    The father would need to be served court papers telling him you want to change their last name. A child needs a mother and father you can not terminate his rights without him giving you permission to let someone else adopt the child or children. Sorry.

    Okay, at this point in my life....I have no plans of getting married and bringing someone new into their life.......if I buy the correct name change forms on line and send it to the last known address for him to be served to change their last name.....what happens if he can not be served or found...I am still recieving his SS paperwork that shows he has not filed in 4 years....no one can find him...not the attorney general....or the IRS....
