Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona

Yes.

You can file a "Petition for Change of Name of Minor". The child's Father will have to be served. If he contests, there are no guarantees. If he agrees, then there is no problem.

You could also consider a "Termination of Parental Rights" if the biological Father has no contact with the child.

We can certainly help you consider and then pursue your options.

One of our attorneys can explain the issues and procedures better in person. As you can imagine, there is too much to cover via email. We offer free 1/2 hour consultations, in which we can discuss your matter in detail.

Please call us directly to discuss the specifics of your matter, or contact my assistant Gloria or my paralegal Jennifer to schedule your free 1/2 hour consultation
