More details to this question:
I no longer have any contact with the father and would like to change my babys last name to my last name. Can I do this? If so how do I start? He pays no child support, paternity was never established. My parents and myself support my baby.

You can file a motion with Circuit Court in the county where you reside and ask the Judge to change the baby's name. This will likely be granted if the father does not object or is not involved with the child. You must notify the father of your request and notify him of the court date.
