Can a Dad Change His Child’s Last Name? Here’s How

In this LawCall Panama City clip, the Perry & Young team discusses how a father with full custody can change his child’s last name if it wasn’t put on the birth certificate. If both parents agree, the process is simple. If not, the father can file a petition for a name change—though the other parent may still have legal standing to challenge it.
