Name Change Minor Child Package
Fee: $289

The We The People Name Change (Minor Child) Package contains the standard forms needed to ask the court to legally change the name of a minor child or children.

You can use one We The People Name Change Minor Child Package to change the name of several minor children as long as all the children have the same legal mother and father. If the children have different fathers or different mothers, a separate We The People Name Change (Minor Child) Package for each minor child must be prepared. If the minor child's biological mother and father are not the Petitioners (the people asking for the name change), then the parent who is not the Petitioner must be given notice ("served") of the proposed name change and the proof of service filed with the court.

We The People cannot assist unless both of the minor child's parents can be made aware of the name change request. For additional information on Name Change and a list of the contents of the We The People Name Change Packages, view "More About Name Change" below.

MORE ABOUT NAME CHANGE

Name changes are sought for many reasons: perhaps your children are now part of a blended family and you would like everyone to have the same family name. Whatever the reason, name changes are common -- and usually fairly easy to carry out. Courts generally do not approve a petition for name change if the intent of the change is to defraud. There are also laws regarding name changes for convicted/registered sex offenders that are more complicated and We The People cannot assist in that situation. Some counties require a criminal history background check.

After the Petition has been filed, the Court will issue the Order to Show Cause for Name Change. This Order must be published in a newspaper of general circulation (one that is approved for legal notices) in the same county where the Petition was filed. The Order must be published once per week for four consecutive weeks. Publication can be expensive and costs vary from newspaper to newspaper, so you may want to make some phone calls before deciding on a newspaper. When publication is complete, the newspaper will prepare proof of publication which they will send either to you or directly to the court – this is very important because the court will not go through with the hearing if proof of publication has not been filed.

Once the court has signed the Decree for Name Change, agencies such as the Social Security Administration and the Department of Motor Vehicles may be contacted about getting new documents issued.

The We The People Name Change Packages contain the standard forms needed to ask the court to legally change the name of an adult, minor child, or family. The Name Change Packages contain the forms listed below. However, depending upon the county where the Petition is being filed, there may also be local forms required by the Court; these are also included in the Package.

  • Civil Case Cover Sheet
  • Petition for Change of Name
  • Attachment to Petition for Change of Name
  • Order to Show Cause for Change of Name
  • Decree Changing Name
  • Proof of Service of Order to Show Cause (for Minor Child Package)
