My ex lives in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Can she change my 7 year sons last name to her maiden name?? Legally ??

If so I am his Father on the birth cert.

I am very behind in child support she at this time has full custody.

Thank you God Bless!

1. Generally not without either yours or the court's permission, no.

2. If she has remarried and there is a step-parent adoption, yes.

3. The site doesn't refer attorneys - but you can click on the "find an attorney" button on the page if you wish.
