    Default I Want My Child's Name Hyphenated

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

    Me (CP) & the NCP went to a negotiation meeting in November and got an order in place. At that time our child's name was hyphenated. There was a mistake made so the order never was filed. A court date was set in March. I attended, the NCP did not. I informed them I wanted the last name the same. I, apparently didn't pay close attention when signing, because now I see our child just has my name.

    How can I go about getting our child's name hyphenated again?

    You didn't pay attention when signing what? And exactly what does whatever it was that you signed say?

    Did you have a lawyer in all this? If so ask him.
    You can see if you can get it corrected in the court that did the custody decision (especially if you have the acquiescence of the other parent).
    If not, you'll have to start formal name change actions and that will again require either the acquiescence of the other parent or the option of having him protest in court.
