    Default Re: I Want to Change My Daughters Last Name to Mine Quick

    If dad won't agree, mom can still try to convince the court that it's in the child's best interest to permit a legal name change. As it stands, if there's been no contact and no support for almost three years, odds are dad won't even appear in court to challenge a name change petition.

    See 735 ILCS 5/21-101.
