    Default I Want to Change My Son's Last Name

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

    I wanted to know how easy it would be to change my son's last name, he has his fathers name who lives in canada and we are no longer togther (never married) I am now married and I want to change his name to my married name. Father is ordered to pay child support, but has not in the last 3 months, he only contacts us threw e-mail about once a month. I have full custody, but we have never gone to court for that so I have no papers.

    That is our plan as long as we do not need the father's permission, I've asked him once to give up all rights and he said absolutlly not, that was some time ago though. They have not seen eachother in almost 4 years now, only contact is threw e-mail.

    There is an existing court order that established him as the legal father, therefore you will need his permission or a court order for a step parent adoption.

    To find out exactly what yourr options are, you should get a consult with a local attorney.
