    Default Changing My Son's Name in Arkansas

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

    My son is almost 3 and I do not know where his biological father is.My son has his last name. He hasnt seen him since he was 1. He doesnt pay any child support. I have been married for 1 and a half years. I am also pregnant with a second child that will have my husbands last name. My son calls my husband dad and we would like to change his name so it will be the same as ours. I dont know how to go about this. I have no idea where to start. My husband would also like to adopt my son but we didnt know about that either.

    You will need an attorney to get all of that done. Step-parent adoption is generally a requirement of TPR of one parent. You will have to attempt to serve the father too. You may as well get the attorney involved from the get-go.
