I want to change DD's last name to my current last name. Right now she has my maiden name. I will keep my last name no matter what ( like divorce) so I think it's a good idea. I want her to match the 4 (soon to be 5) other people in my house. I haven't spoke to BF in 3 years and I couldn't find him so I took a shot in the dark and emailed some random person with the same name on FB a few weeks ago and he finally got back to me today. I told him what I wanted to do so hopefully he agrees easily. If he says no we are do for child support modification later this year and I will ask for more money if he doesn't agree....which means he will agree. But I want this done before she goes to kinder so if he would just agree now it would make life easy. So please just say a prayer or send good thoughts my way that this all works out!
Re: Say a little prayer....
I know BF would be more than willing to terminate his rights and DH does want to adopt DD but right now it's not something we can afford. From what I read there is a lot that goes with it and I would need a lawyer. Changing her name will be easy as long as he says yes. I just have to have BF sign two papers, file with the district clerk, pay $243 dollars, and then go in front of the judge when they have an open docket.
