Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

Daughter's name change

My daughter currently has her mother's maiden name. Paternity papers were filed at birth, but there was an error at the state offices. We are divorced and agree the name needs to be changed. We do not reside in the state of her birth. Does this need to be handled in her birth state or the current state of residence?
