Legal Question in Family Law in California
Changing last name of minor
My Boyfriend and I want to change my sons last name to his, the absent father has been out of our lives for over 10yrs. Do I still have to get his permission to change my sons last name even though my son age 13 also wants to change?

To legally change your son's name will require the filing of a petition in court. You will also be required to notify the bio father and other family members.
