My question involves name change laws in the State of: California
Child was born in CA to mom and boyfriend. The mom had an affair and realized the child was not his but still had the birth certificate listing him as the father. Fast forward 9 years later, child and mom have moved to another state and the real father is now ordered to pay child support. (Although no paternity test validates he is the father). Boyfriend is no longer in the picture. Mom wants to change the child's last name to her maiden name on her birth certificate in CA. Is that possible? What is the time limits on that?
