I am considering looking into it. Ex has minimal contact with LO, never pays any child maintenance- skips thoughy jobs quicker than anyone I've ever known, and when he does see her it's just a quick visit to the park.
I'd like to change her surname to mine as he has no involvement, she doesn't know who he is and over the 3 years of her life he's managed to give her one birthday present.
I gave up trying to organise visits ect as trusting him to show up in the beginning resulted in me not being able to go into work. I stand by the policy if he wants to see her then he knows how to contact me. Surprise surprise he never does.
I know a bit about the c100 and £200 costs in court to start proceedings to change her name, but would like advice from someone who's tried to get full PR ?
Would just like to be able to call her by my surname instead of the absent "parent"
