It is advisable to seek your ex-spouse’s consent if you wish to change your child’s surname as this is a serious matter. Unless there are compelling reasons to justify the change, the court will generally not allow it.

when you were divorced were there any terms and conditions discussed between you and your husband or have you made the settlement deed in which the terms and conditions were mentioned. that need to be clarified first who will keep the custody of the child forever
