    Red face Minor Name Change by Minor

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

    I was originally born in Illinois but have moved to Hawaii. My mother has been married to my step-father for almost 8 years and he is my Daddy. My bio logical father and I do nt talk as much and he does not make an effort to talk with me. I wantto change my last name to my step fathers. Or possibly add a hyphen. I would like to add a representation of my step father, but possibly be able to keep my original last name A's maybe a second middle name.

    I am 15 years old. My father pays child support, would changing my name affect this?
    Thank you

    Your Mom needs to file in court to have your name changed. Your father will be notified, and he can object.

    I will be honest - the older the child is, the more difficult it is to change their name against the wishes of the other parent.

    Will this need to be represented in court? Even if I make my current last name a second middle name.
    Can this be done in my current state or will my mom and I need to travel to where I was born.
