No. If the Bio father doesn't file the name change with you, you will have to give information so that he can be notified. That would include his name and his current or last known address (if you don't know where he is). The name change will also be printed in news papers. He has a certain amount of time to to contest the change and can show up in court. It would be easier to have him agree beforehand and sign the petition in front of a notary. I would call an attorney and find out the specifics for your county. You can usually get a consultation for free. I changed my child's name 2 years ago in Boone County. Good luck!

Changing your last name is the easiest. No permission needed. Trust me. All you have to do is begin using the new last name everywhere. Including school, applications, doctor office fill out forms etc. The last name will change itself.
