If a couple get divorced can the ex-wife change the last name of their child back to her maiden name?

Sarah asked:
…if the child was born and given the father’s last name from when they were still married. The child is only 3 years old. Or does the child’s name remain unchanged unless the child as an adult later in life wishes to change it on their own?

You cannot change a child’s name without BOTH parent’s consent.
Especially considering you were married and he’s on the birth certificate.

I doubt it. You prob have to have the father’s consent or him to sign rights over.

That child is still the child to the father of that baby, and was given a name at birth that can’t be changed just because of divorce. If the child wants to change their name, they can do so when they reach the legal age to do so… but the last name has no bearing on whether or not the parents are still married.

What some women to is they like for instance if her maiden name was Jones and her married name was Baker, they put the last names together Jones-Baker.

No you can not change it back without the permission of the ex.Or when the child get 18 they can change it without consent.

You cannot change the child’s name without permission from the other parent.
The child’s legal name belongs to the child from birth and there is no valid reason to change it.
