My question involves name change laws in the State of: Michigan
I am posting this for my boyfriend. We have been dealing with this situation for almost 3 years now and it would be great to jump the final hurdle and put this issue to bed.
My situation is sort of complicated, but I'm hoping I can find some help here. I would like to remove the birth mother's name from 2 daughter's birth certificates. Basically her rights were terminated, voluntarily, after having the kids removed and put in foster care and 15 months of yanking everyone around. I have full 100% custody of my girls. It has been over a year since all of this has been wrapped up and almost 3 since it started. She has never made an attempt at contacting us or trying to use the girls' name's for fraud that I'm aware of, but I would like to have her name removed from their birth certificates for a lot of reasons, but mainly to stop any kind of fraud the psycho may attempt. Regardless, I need to get my butt in gear to get birth certificates and social security numbers for them, but I want to know my options first.
Thanks for the help.
