    Default Changing Son's Name to Biological Father's

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

    I am the biological father of 2 yr-old boy. he was born with his mothers last name and I would like to change it to mine. but, the mother refuses.

    I'm making all my child support payments and am actively in his life.

    what are my options?

    Thanks,

    Ryan

    Go to court and petition the court to have the child's name change. You may want to think about hyphenating the child's name (her name-your name) as a compromise, as the court may suggest it also.
