I got married in March and my husband is taking care of my daughter from prev. relationship. Her biological father isn't around much. He calls 2-3 times a month, no child support, doesn't see her. My daughter doesn't want to see him (her decision) I don't bad mouth her father. Recently she has been asking to have her last name changed to mine and her step dad's last name. I tried to explain what would happen if she did and she says that she still wants her name changed. I really think she is too young to make this kind of decision, but she acts like she really, really wants it. I don't know what to do, I know her father isn't going to just roll over, he'll fight me on this. My husband is the only father figure in her life and he supports us and he wants to legally adopt her. So my question is, is my daughter too young to decide? And if I do this, how do I go about telling her father?
