Do whats best for the child. If he is stepping up and going to be in her life etc then set up for co parenting in court. He can go to court to have his daughter’s last name changed if the judge sees fit. But look in to it. Every state has their ways of handling it.

Ditto.

That’s my biggest fear. Me agreeing to the name change and him not being there.

Crazy how they don’t see themselves messing up then come thinking they have a say on anything especially a last name

Wait wait. Is he even listed on the birth certificate?....let’s start there. If he’s not listed he has no say. He would have to establish paternity first and foremost and tbh I wouldn’t hold my breath on it if he wasn’t supportive during the pregnancy, sounds like he’s mad. Oh well. Tough.
But if he files the paperwork it also cost to change it, so see if he’ll fork over that cash to change it. It’s not free

It’s no cost for the name change, only for the birth certificate.

What state do you live in? Is he listed on the birth certificate?

I DO NOT have the birth certificate until I go get from vital records.

Did he sign any paperwork saying he's the father?
For example my husband signed my daughter's birth certificate at the hospital but we didn't receive her actual official birth certificate for a few weeks after she was born.
Also what state do you live in?
