Thats so sad that her dad is trying to force his name on her. I had my biological fathers surname till i was 10 and my mum re-married. He had to sign a court order thingo to say he aggreed to the change, which he did, but wasnt too happy about it, but i wanted the same last name as my mum and family.
It made a big difference to me that my name was the same as my mums, hugs to your DD, hope your ex wakes up to himself soon and realises hes being a bit of a ......
Im in two minds about my sons last name being the same as his dads.
His father is a good man, just a lousy partner... so we split over 18 months ago.
BUT.... I do wish I had put my surname on our DS's birth cert.. but we decided that we would put his dads on there as we were planning on getting married etc.. but obviously that never happened.
I believe it is 18yrs old that children can legally change their names without both parents consent.
