Parenting orders change? Dad in jail

[Kay Star]

Kids are 13 and 15 and their dad went to jail last year for child sex related offenses. They have not seen or heard from him in 9 months.

I have sole parental responsibility.

How do I change the orders to reflect no contact? Parenting orders have been in place in Vic since 2012.

Also, how can the kids change their surname - they do not want anything to do with him or his name.

No need to change the orders.
If you have sole parental responsibility then changing the name should be easy - go to births deaths and marriages.
