Can my wife and I change her son's name without the biological father's consent?
Full Question:
My twelve year old son's biological father has been incarcerated for the majority of his life. I have provided for my son for nine years with little to no child support (no more than 1000 dollars) from the father. There is no steady contact from his father and he has expressed no interest in his son's life. My twelve year old would like to take on my last name to be recognized as my son, in the public eye for all legal and non-legal purposes. Can my wife and I have his name changed without his father's consent?
