Just search "change name child YOUR STATE" and you'll find instructions.

Answer 5

You'll probably have to go to the courts and pay some money, but if you are the named father on her birth certificate, it shouldn't be too hard.

Answer 6

Legally she should have had your last name when she was born, even if you were not married. At this point you will have to petition the courts for a name change.  

Answer 7

mine and ur culture is different, if I say anything it would be wrong.

contact ur lawyer in this part. how old is she??

Answer 8

Petition the court to have her name changed. Shouldn't be a problem if you are named the father on her birth certificate.

Answer 9

i think you have to go to the social security office.

i know it costs 150, but you could have done it when she was born, even if you weren't married. you can give your child any last name you want to.
