Make it possible for a mother to change her child's name if the father is absent

Petition Details

I think that if a father makes no effort to pay for his child in 3 years, the mother should legally be allowed to change the child's surname to her own.
My son's father left 4 years ago and since that day he has never paid a penny towards his upbringing and he has not seen him in a year.
