What is the name of your state? NY I have a few questions that I am hoping to have answered. In my state does the mother of the child need permission to have her childs last name changed. My 2 1/2 year old has my last name. He has not seen his bio dad in 2 1/2 years abd has been raised by my boyfriend. We are getting married soon and we want to change his name to his last name. I know the bio dad won't allow it because he is very difficult. I was also wondering if we could have my son adopted by my boyfriend even if the bio dad won't sign the papers? I know that he would never sign over his rights or allow my boyfriend to adopt my son but this is very important to me. How do I go about doing this. The bio dad has not worked 7 years he smokes marijuana and drinks, he has two violent felonies, he has not seen the baby for 2 1/2 years he has never paid any child support. Would a judge actually allow him visitation. I don't want my so to be around him. I was the stupid one for getting involved with such an animal when it went against everything I believed in. Please help clarify all this for me.
