Re: Child's Last Name

Change of name of a minor will require the father's consent, or a hearing. Once the petition is filed, and the father is noticed, either an agreed order is submitted to the court, or a hearing is set. Filing fees vary from county to county, so call the District Clerk for filing fees. Service fees will also vary depending upon the father's location and cooperation. Contact attorneys in your area to discuss the range of attorney fees.
