Sealed name changes

No, I am a natural born citizen. The reason I need to change their name without notifying their father is because it cant be proven whether or not he is behind a recent assault against me. He told me many times "if you ever talk, I will kill you too or if I'm in jail already, I will send someone to kill you."

He found out I talked, I found out he knew and about two weeks later, somebody showed up at my residence and severely beat me. The timeline would suggest it was him, but the date it happened was around the one year anniversary of when he committed his crime. Since he got charged, I've gotten death threats and threats of physical harm towards to the children and gotten recognized and harassed a few times around town, so it could be just as easy to assume that someone found out where I lived and decided to have some vigilante justice. I know sometimes children's name change can be done without notifying the other parent, I just don't know how.
