Re: name change
If there is a court order providing for the biological father to pay child support, you will have to file the name change petition with that court and provide the father notice of your request.
Good luck

Re: name change
the short answer is yes if you wanted to change the baby's last name you would have to have the biological father's permission. You could use a hyphen after the child's name.
