    You cant strip the other parent from his/her rights just because you no longer share a bed. If he fights this he will likely prevail

    Yes, you will need either the father's permission, or a court order before you can change the name.

    If you never recieved the BC, you'll need to contact your state's vital records dept to get a legal copy.
