    Default Name Change for Minor in Georgia

    My question involves name change laws in the State of: Georgia for a minor, I do not know where the father is and haven't had contact with him in over 7 years. Can I change my son's name without his consent...what do I do?

    People generally aren't hard to find. It may be that your process server has no difficulty finding and serving dad. If he is not able to locate dad, you can petition the court to allow substituted service, such as public postings, mailing to the last known address, etc.
