Legal Question in Family Law in Connecticut
child custody and name change
I would like to know how to keep my child's father away from her. He has a sordid past and a criminal history. I want to raise my daughter on my own and he's just been released. Since he and I never married I want to change my daughters last name as well. I don't want him in my life? How do I make this happen?
thank you

Re: child custody and name change
Depending on whether you already have a custody order in place, you would have to file for sole custody. In addition, you could also apply for a termination of parental rights. This is a more extreme measure and more difficult to obtain. If you need further help, you can email me at [email protected].
