    Default Changing A Child's Name

    My question involves name change laws in the State of: Missouri

    I was granted sole phsical and legal custody of my daughter recently. I didn't think about this before, but I really want to change her last name to my last name. Her father did sign the birth certificate and all that. I wasn't sure if I still needed his approval, if I have sole physical and legal custody. Thanks.

    Yes. You need his permission. How old is the child? And why do you think it is in the child's best interest to have his/her name changed?
