Name Changes (Minor)

The minor name change petition is filed by the parent(s) or the court appointed guardian(s) of the child. In certain cases when there is one parent filing a name change petition for a minor, it is recommended and helpful if the absent parent consents to the name change.

Complcations may arise within certain situations when one parent cannot be located, or is incarcerated. When this occurs, certain facts are carefully examined by the courts and consideration is given in the best interest of the minor.
