    Default Re: Minor's Name Change, Australian Birth Certificate

    You seem to have missed Mr.K's notation that it is unlikely that the Aussies will entertain a petition to change the name of a non-resident. You have to present them with damned good reason to do so, and "I don't want my daughter to have her father's name" is insufficient both here AND there.

    You also seem to keep getting the order of things backwards. You have to be granted the change of name petition here first, before you can even consider petitioning in Oz to change the child's birth certificate - and even if it's granted here, there's no way for us to tell if Australian authorities will grant the name change there, even if your ex-husband consents. (For that matter, your ex-husband consenting is no guarantee the petition will be granted here, either. It's just not that simple.)

    From where I sit, you're tilting at a particularly stubborn windmill, Madame Quixote.

    wow. i have no idea how this thread has become so hostile towards me! i have just posed a question as i am NOT a lawyer myself, which needs to be done first... a change on her birth certificate of the country she was born in or a legal change in the country she is currently living in? simple. i AM admitting that i don't know which way to go about this- which step to take first.... so how can i be going about it all wrong ALREADY?!?!

    i am so sorry i ever came in here... unlike any forum of any kind i've ever sought advice on before... be kind people... i just had an innocent question and am now leaving here very offended.

    A thicker skin may be required.

    The court system makes this forum look like Wonderland. (The Disney version, not the horror movie version....).

    You don't know how this thread became so hostile towards YOU? Ma'am, you became snotty with the people who VOLUNTEER their time to answer your questions for FREE. Maybe you should go back and read the answers objectively, then come back and apologize for your attitude.

    Your mealy-mouthed hissy fit at a long time, respected contributor to this community might have precipitated that.

    What part of

    Your birth certificate is amended after your change of name is granted.
    ...eluded you? You were given legally correct answers, and that right promptly for 1) a Saturday and 2) people who are VOLUNTEERS. Your manners are as terrible as your reading comprehension.

    In your foolish haste to cut ties with your ex, you're coming here, dripping snotty all over the shoes of people who made a good faith effort to help you, and have decided to behave like a toddler who hasn't been on the potty for a couple of days. You're offended? Well, goody-goody and boo-hoo-hoo. If you want customer service, or whatever it is you were looking for instead of legally correct answers, feel free to go pay somebody for it.

    Port 80 is down the hall and to the left. Mind it doesn't bust you in the backside on the disconnect.
