    Default Re: How to Get a Name Change Without the Father's Permission

    At what point have you even been remotely nice? And once again, you didn't even answer my question. I actually just spoke to a lawyer who informed me that you are incorrect. Maybe instead of being a bully, you should try giving accurate information.

    You managed to spell out your case to an attorney and receive a concise answer in .... 30 minutes?

    Dang.

    Really? Well you better tell that attorney that the courts website is incorrect. Thats how I know you didn't read ANY of the links because 3 links that reference MO state law trumps 1 fake attorney you called.

    After all, if it were that easy, you would have called the attorney or the courthouse or Google sooner!

    But thanks for playing. Leave your tip on the way out.

    Yep. And he probably gave her all the relevant statutes so she can throw it back in my face!

    Pssstt... it appears you were wrong too. You gave her the same answer. I don't know why she's picking on me. Not. Nice.

    Quote Quoting Missouri Rules of Civil Procedure, Sec. 95.03. Petition for Change of a Minor's Name - Notice to or Consent of Parents
    When a minor files a petition for change of name the written consent of each known parent shall be filed. If the written consent of each known parent is not filed, a copy of the petition together with a notice stating the date of the hearing shall be served on each known parent not consenting not less than thirty days before the date of the hearing. The service shall be by registered or certified mail addressed to the last known address of the nonconsenting parent. Service shall be proved by the certificate of the clerk that he has mailed a copy of the petition and notice by registered or certified mail.
    No definition is provided for "known parent". I don't see any authority that indicates that a putative father is not a "known parent", but the language used suggests to me a broader intent than "legal parent". If you have retained a lawyer in your state who has informed you that the courts don't require notice to a putative father, even if you know him to be the father, I'll defer to your lawyer.
