    Default Spouses Want to Revert to Their Prior Surnames While Remaining Married

    My question involves name change laws in the State of: California

    After getting married we changed our last name (combination of both last names). This caused all kinds of complications so we want to change our names back. Both will take the same last name (husband's 'maiden' last name). We will fill the forms ourselves. Some questions:

    1) Do we have to file on NC100 for each of us or can we list both of our names in section 2?
    2) If we can use just one application then whose name should be listed as "Petition of"? Just one or both?
    3) For the superior court it asks for the street and mailing address. I assume in most cases they are just the same, right?
    4) Looking at the website of the superior court (Santa Clara County) they list different offices. Do I just chose the first one (Downtown Superior Court) or can I chose any unless they are specific to something (traffic, etc)?
    5) Case Number I assume I have to leave empty.

    Thanks in advance.

    You each file your own petition separately.

    Choose the one that's convenient for you.

    When you bring your petitions to the courthouse you'll be assigned a case number. Bring duplicates of your petition so you can put your case number on it and have your own copy date stamped by the clerk.

    Make sure you carefully read and follow all of the instructions on Page 2:
