Dad is refusing my son's name change

Question

I have a court date setup to change my son's last name from his dad's to my last name. His dad has a lawyer and is refusing the name change. Even though I am the primary caregiver and handle all appointments will they grant him the refusal for the name change or will I get it?

Answer 1

you really need to get a lawyer!!

Answer 2

i think that you should get it because you had the baby, and its yours now.

Answer 3

If you are granted sole physical custody then you should be able to change the name. Your ex is just being childish and vindictive and I hope you are able to change the name. It's only fair to you.
