    Default How to Change Son's Last Name

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

    I WANT TO CHANGE MY SON'S LAST NAME TO MY MARRIED NAME. WE DONT WANT TO GO THROUGH THE WHOLE ADOPTION THING AND JUST WANT MY SON TO HAVE MY HUSBAND NAME. THE FATHER LISTED ON THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE IS WILLING TO SIGN A CONSENT FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. I HAVE 2 OTHER KIDS WITH MY HUSBAND THEREFORE WE WANT MY SON TO HAVE THE LAST NAME LIKE ALL OF US DO.

    IS THIS POSSIBLE? WILL THE COURT ALLOW THIS? THE FATHER LISTED IS WILLING TO DO WHATEVER IT NEEDS FOR THE CHILDS NEEDS TO BE MET.

    THANK YOU.

    If the father is willing to sign the consent it is a simple procedure. Check with your county that you reside in. You'll have to file a petition and typically it is required to be posted public for 30 days. Good Luck.
