How much is it to change my childrens name to my maiden name when I'm not married to the biological father and he hardly helped with child support.

The legal fees would depend on the attorney you hire. As a benchmark, my firm would probably charge $800 - $1,200 plus filing fees and process service fees. If the father does not agree, you will have to have a hearing before the court and convince the judge that the proposed name change is in the child's best interest. If it does have to go to a hearing, it will cost quite a bit more in legal fees.

Good luck!!
