Question

How can i change my daughter lastname? actually wer not married..what can i do?

Answer 1

thats easy done and i dont need to know who what where

You can easily change your child's name by Deed Poll providing those with parental responsibility consent to the name change. If your child is 16 years of age or over, they must apply for their own Deed Poll for which parental consent is not required

Answer 2

In my county in California you petition the court. That costs $320. Then you run a legal notice in the newspaper for 4 weeks. That cost varies with the newspaper, but it is in addition to the $320.

If no one objects in those 4 weeks, the court grants your petition. You get a notarized copy and show it to her bank, doctor, health plan, school, etc. Your daughter will have to show a notarized copy of the court order every time she applies for a passport, applies to college, applies for a job with a security clearance, etc. etc.

The costs may vary from county to county. I suspect other states have a similar but not identical procedure.

If you are not in the USA, say so and someone from the UK or Canada can help.

If you are not married to the man you and your daughter are living with, and you change her name to his, be prepared to go through the whole process again 2 - 3 years down the road, when he dumps you for someone younger, prettier or with a bigger bra size. He can't love you very much or he'd marry you. You are just handy. I don't know what you can do about that, other than moving out and looking for someone willing to tie the knot.

Answer 3

What exactly are you asking? whose last name does she have, whose are you trying to change it to? please add some detail....

Answer 4

well if she has like her dad's last name & you are marrying somebody else & you want her to have the new guy's name then you'd have to get married then he'd have to adopt her & then she'd have his name.

Answer 5

Why would you be married to your daughter?  

Just kidding,  Your question is unclear on so many levels.  Are you trying to change her name back to your last name or are you trying to give her the name of her father?   Either way, you might meet with some resistance.  It may require you to go to court and have a paternity test to prove her relationship to the father.  OR...

If you are already receiving child support, the court may REQUIRE her to carry her father's last name. If the father relinquishes his rights, then you can change her name to whatever you want.
