In California???
I won full costody of her last year. I have a restraining order against him, which is good until 2009. Do I need him to sign a paper saying I can change it?? Or do I need a lawyer?
Anyone ever gone through this???

if his name is on the birth certificate you need him to sign the paperwork that you can get from births, deaths & marriages registry. they should have a web site that will give you more information

Since you have full custody and there is a restraining order against the father, he really has no rights. You don't even need a lawyer unless you are fighting about it with the father. You can just go to the courthouse and get the papers for a change in name. It will go in front of the judge to sign and you will have to be present and give the reason why you are changing your daughters last name. If no one objects, it can be done.

Why would you want to?
When girls have children at a young age they sometimes look at the child as a doll. Now that you have custody of your doll you apparently don't want to share anymore.
Now you should always protect your child from any harm, this is for certain. But one thing you should remember is that no matter how you dress your doll or how many lawyers you hire to change your dolls name... Her father will always be her father. This is a decision you both made and believe me, someday she will want to see him.

Even though you have full custody and there is a restraining order against Dad, he still has rights. You're going to need his permission or a judge's approval. You'd have to have a *darn good* reason for a judge to approve it (more than "I want her last name to match mine").

I would assume that you could since you were given full parental rights and decision making.
