Re: name change
If she has done it, the answer to the question
of "can she do it" is obviously "yes". Was
she supposed to do it is a better question.
Like in most situations, if a party (such as
the father) does not assert legal rights
in court, the rights may well be ignored. If
the father's parental rights have been terminated,
the mother is free to change a child's name.
