Question:
What is Important to Know About Changing Your Child’s Name?
Answer:
As a dedicated Saratoga Child Custody Lawyer, I am often asked how you can change your child’s last name to match yours. To change your child’s name to match yours, first file a petition in the Supreme Court and serve the other parent with notice of your petition. The court will not grant a petition to change a child’s name if the other parent is alive, can be found, and objects to the proposed name change. If the other parent objects, the court will not grant the petition.
