Question:
can a mother change the name of our son without my ok and signed statement from me?...........................if so has the child been adopted and i'm no longer responsible for his welfare?.................................
Answer:
Allow me to preface my answer to your question with the disclaimer that I am not licensed to practice law in the state of Conneticut. Generally no she can not change the name without your knowledge, but your consent may not be required if the court finds it was in the child's best interests and that you were served with notice and did not object. Just because the name has changed, there is no reason to beliece any adoption occurred. Again you would be entitled to notice. You can check the court records to verify the status of these matters.
