Legal Question in Family Law in Kentucky
childs last name change
My two year old child has her fathers last name. We were never married. Is there a way that I can change her last name to mine without him having to sign anything? He hasn't seen her in seven months and I don't want to confuse her.

Re: childs last name change
It may be possible to do this. Normally, it takes both parents to change the name of a minor. However, if one parent refuses, or is unavailable to execute the petition, and the notice of filing is properly served, the District Court can grant the name change. I practice in both Kentucky and Ohio, and would be happy to discuss the name change with you. Please feel free to call 859-372-6601 or email me.
