    Question Can You Change Your Name if You are on Probation

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

    My sister wants to add on to her name and I have questions. She is on probation, has a criminal record and wants to add on to her name. By adding on I mean Jeff to Jeffrey, Kim to Kimberly, Mike to Michael, etc.... Middle and last name would remain the same. Is this something that can be done now or should she wait until probation is over? FYI... She is not evading anyone, her request is well known to anyone who has contact with her including the probation officer. How likely is it that the judge will let her make the change?

    Default Re: Adding on to an Existing Name

    She should start with her PO. A minor change, with the support of her PO, shouldn't be an issue.
