What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Iowa
I would like to change my daughter's last name. She has her father's last name, however we were never married. At 3 months old her father was arrested and placed in prison. He just got out of prison and was deported out of the country. My daughter is four years old and obviously her father was never a part of her life. I also have a restraining order against him. Since he is out of the country permanently and he was never part of her life, what do I need to do to change her last name?
