My question involves name change laws in the State of: California
I am trying to fill out form CM010 for a name change that is not caused by divorce, etc but I just want it changed to the maiden name. Here are some questions regarding certain sections.
Sec 1) I selected "Miscellaneous Civil Petition - Other petition". Is there any area where I need to indicate "Petition for Name Change"?
Sec 2) From all I see this "is not complex under rule 3.400"
Sec 3) I am not seeking any remedies so I assume I just leave section 3 empty
Sec 4) I am not sure what "causes of action" is. Do I need to enter anything here?
Sec 6) My wife is also going to change her name which we will submit together (two separate sets of all form). I assume I don't need to fill out CM-015 because I would not know her case number since we do it at the same time.
