    Actually I changed my sons last name from his fathers to mine when he was really young. You have to file papers in court (call the local gov't center) and then send a certified letter to the father, if you don't get a response you have to post it in the paper for a period of time. If he doesn't show to court it will usually be granted, at least mine was.

    Typically, you will file a legal action in the court with jurisdiction over the custody issues, and prove it's in your child's best interest that her name be changed. The procedure and details will depend upon the laws of the state in which you litigate.
