Re: child abandonment/custody
You can attempt to have the father's parental rights terminated if he has willfully failed to visit and/or provide support for a period of six months or more. You can petition to change the child's name at any time, but it's not certain that the Court will grant the request.
If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
