Can I change my daughter name without her 'fathers' permisson by either given her my parnters name or double barelling it?

[Poppy85]

I have been with my partner for 3 years & we are due to marry next year. My daughter has very little contact with her father (however he does pay maintenace & I know where he is etc) & my daughter has decided she wants to change her name when I change mine or double barrel it so she has her 'real fathers' name & then mine/my patners name? Can I do this without his permission as I know he will say no just to be difficult?

The same people who advised you about this situation on your other thread..........are the very same ones who would answer you here.
You should read, again, what was written there.
