Only the court can terminate parental rights permanently. An absentee father is not bound by any time limits on when he may seek visitation or even custodial rights concerning his child/children, the exception is a court ajudication of abandonment. The issue pertaining to changing a child's name, it cannot be done arbitrarily. State laws govern how or if a change of name can be done without the permission of the biological father.
