As per my RCR through memorandum of settlement, the below was agreed between me and my wife that because of irreconcilable differences we are staying apart. It is agreed between the parties that, the daughter ANKITA BIPIN KADAM is presently under the case and custody of the petitioner/father. In view of the settlement arrived at between the parties, the petitioner has agreed to handover the custody of the daughter to the respondent before the Hon'ble court at the time of reporting the settlement. The care and custody of the Son RANJAN BIPIN KADAM shall be continued with the respondent / Mother in future. I stay in Bangalore and she resides in Pune. Today my wife messages me that the maintenance i'm paying is not sufficient and I'm an irresponsible father and hence she is going to change the names of my kids. We are not divorced and no cases running. We are living separately for 2 years now. I have not been given any access to kids for last 1.8 years. Can she change the names without my consent. If she does, what should my next steps be ??? What actions can I take on her legally ?

Dear Client,
Better file application in court for child custody and seek restrain order from change of name. Visitation right will grant by court. She has custody order in her favor and being natural guardian, she can apply for name change. You can file injunction suit against her
See she can change name or surname of the kids without your consenting citing herself as the legal Guardian, you can give her a legal notice to her and further can file for custody of children seeking interim relief that there mother can be restricted from changing the name and you can seek visitation rights for your children.
She cannot change the name of the minor children without the consent of the biological father.
But you cannot take any legal action against her on mere information from her in this regard.
You wait for the developments and then decide proper course of legal action on the happening of the event.
No need to worry, Without consent of biological father she can not change child name.

Dear Sir,
You may file a simple suit of permanent injunction restraining your wife from changing name of your child without your written consent.
Dear Sir,
Your wife cannot change your child’s surname without your permission. If she does, then file a writ petition in High court for direction your wife not to change your child’ surnames.
A mother, or father, cannot change a child's surname by herself or himself unless she or he is the only person with parental responsibility. Even then if the other parent objects a Court Order should be made.
