Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
Child Name Change
When I remarry can my 10 year son change his name to my new married name? Can he do this without his father giving up legal custody? Or will his father have to give up rights first?

You most likely will either need the biological father's
consent for the name change or have his rights terminated.
