I would like to change my daugters last name, she is 3, I have a restraining order against her father at this time, there are domestic abuses issues, I am not looking for any child support or anything from him. I doubt that he would be willing to consent to a name change for her just to spite me. Would he NEED to be notified about the name change? Are children name changes something that is fairly easy to get? I don't even know where to begin with this. At this time there is no communication between him and I and there is no support or visitation.
