I am planning on changing my daughter's last name from my maiden name to my married name. She has lived with her stepfather since she was 7 months old, she just turned 8. It is her choice to have her name be like his and her sisters.
Her bio. has no objection, which is great. Where I am lost is with all the paperwork. We are filing jointly so I don't have to serve him, but we have 2 different addresses/phone numbers. Whose do I put at the top? Do I file the whole packet together at first, or just the Order to Show Cause? And after I file, what happens? The courts won't answer my questions and the family court lawyer I contacted said they don't assist with name changes.
Thank you.
