i don,t know if state laws are different, but in my state if the father is alive he has to waive his parental rights if he has any. or if you can't get him to do that and you atleast want her lastname changed you have to go through the courts for a name change, if your child is over 14yrs they can request it, if not the father is supposed to agree, but there ways around that, if you prove that you cant find him or that he hasn't been around in years, you can ask for a judgment. you should be able to get the paperwork @ the courthouse and they will explain it

The court will ask for the father's name on the petition so that he can be notified. If the father is paying child support he will be sent notice of the name change petition. Even if the child doesn't have his name he can object to the proposed change of name and the court will consider his objection before it renders a decision.

Yes, but best to get a court order confirming the change, even if the child is not adopted.
