Changing a child's surname without the father's consent: legal possibilities and limitations

Changing a child's surname without the father's consent is a complex and delicate process that requires a careful approach and thorough legal knowledge. According to Ukrainian legislation, changing the surname of a minor child without the father's consent is possible only under certain conditions and grounds. In particular, if the father does not participate in the child's upbringing or does not maintain contact with the child for a long period, this may be a basis for changing the surname without his consent.

Procedure for changing a child's surname without the father's consent

The procedure for changing a child's surname without the father's consent involves several steps:

Collecting evidence: it is necessary to gather documents that confirm the father's lack of involvement in the child's upbringing, such as certificates of non-payment of alimony, statements from relatives or neighbors, medical and psychological reports.
Preparing the application: draft an application to the court or civil registry offices, stating the justification for changing the child's surname and attaching the collected documents.
Court proceedings: if necessary, file a lawsuit in court where the issue of changing the child's surname without the father's consent will be considered.
Obtaining a decision: after the court issues a decision to change the child's surname, the civil registry offices issue a new birth certificate with updated information.
