My question involves name change laws in the State of: NC
I know a minor who wants to change his name. I probably knew the mnor has thought of a new name, but hasn't officially said yet. The minor realizes at one point of time the danger between the minor and his parents are assumed. His parents aren't trying to make the child in danger, but they are.
The minor's parents destroy the well-being of the minor through commenting and/or physical action. Also, the child is given a name he doesn't like and the parents would surely reject for changing names. The child decides to change his name because his parents are not safe for the child.
What is the process of changing a minor's name? Currently, he minor doesn't have a guardian and isn't adopted yet. Once the minor has either completed a guardianship or and adoption, he plans to change his name.
