    Default Daughter Name Change in Pennsylvania

    My question involves name change laws in the State of: pa
    My daughters biological father is not listed on the birth certificate, as he was not present at her birth. I do however recieve child support from him, though he has never seen her and she doesnt know about him. I was married 2 years ago and would like to have her name changed to that of my husbands, mine and our other daughter. My oldest has my maiden name at the moment. What do I need to do inorder to change her name?

    get her father's permission and file the name change petition.

    Do you happen to know where I would go to file a name change petition? Also, if I do not know her fathers address, any idea on where to liik to find it?

    You will file the petition at the courthouse.

    Since you have an existing order for CS, check the court file to see if the father's address is listed in the papers. If it isn't, or he has moved, you can try doing an on-line search. Just Google "locate person" and all kinds of sites will come up.
