- 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.
