In Re McKenzie Z.

Syllabus

Unmarried father filed a petition to establish parentage and a residential parenting schedule. After father's parentage was established, the juvenile court set a residential parenting schedule that awarded equal parenting time and ordered the child's surname changed to a hyphenated version of both parents' surnames. Mother appealed, arguing that the court erred in fashioning the parenting schedule and in ordering a change of the child's surname. Upon review, we affirm the residential parenting schedule but vacate that portion of the order directing a change in the child's surname.

Judges: Judge W. Neal McBrayer
