    Unhappy How to Change a Minor's Last Name

    My question involves name change laws in the State of: North Carolina.
    I am trying to change my 13 yr.old daughters last name. I have been trying to get child support for her for 12 yrs. Every state I have lived iin says they can NOT find. I found him years ago and yet again the State said that was good enough and they used the information and could not find him. She REALLY wants her last name changed to mine since I have gotten married. I can't find her biological father.She has wanted her last changed for years now. Her father knew where she was and never bothered to see her or help support her. HELP!

    According to the Special Proceedings Division of the Web County, NC, Superior Court, you must retain counsel to help you complete the name change if you're unable to obtain consent from the child's father..

    I don't have any papers stating that I have custody of my daughter anymore. My ex-boyfriend hid them from me when I left.
    But, my daughter's biological father and I were never married.

    The court has them on file. Contact the Clerk of Courts to find out how to get copies.

    There will likely be a copying fee, but if it's more than $20, I'd be surprised.
