Can I change my son's last name to my own?
The father of my son left us. He has no part of the baby’s life. I filed for sole custody and we have a custody hearing next month. If I’m awarded full custody and he continues not to pay any child support, do I need his permission to change my son’s last name to my own? This is in NY state and he is listed as the father on the birth certificate.
