What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NJ
Hello. My daughter has my last name. I will be getting married, not to the childs father, in a few months. I would obviously like her name to switch with mine to my fiances. I know that my fiance could not adopt her, as her bio-father has visitation, but would we be able to change her name so she could feel more part of the family. Im sure the bio-father would object to this just to be difficult, even tho she doesnt have his last name anyway. Could you tell me the process of doing this and how easy/hard a process it is? Thank you.
