What is the name of your state? Iowa
Hello,
Recently my son's mother was married. My son currently carries her last name as we were never married and she refused to have his name changed in our settlement of visitation and custodial rights. I have Joint Legal Custody with her and my question is this. Can she now have my sons name changed to her new legal last name without informing me....or even if she did inform me? Can she do this informing through a newspaper even though we have regular contact ever other weekend?
As this could be confusing for my son when he is older...he 2 1/2 now. I would prefer he bore my last name as I take care of all my obligations for his care and we have an excellent father/son relationship that is growing better and better with each visit. Shouldn't I have some say in his last name as I have Joint Legal Custudy?
