You can ask that the child's name not be changed.

But you need to be aware that a 18, the child will be an adult and he can file a legal document at the courthouse to change his last name. You will NOT be notified since it no longer involves you since he is now an adult. You will have no input into his name change if he chooses to change his name after he becomes an adult.

I hope that answers your question.
