My question involves name change laws in the State of Maryland
Hi,
I am about file a motion to shield and a motion to seal in hopes that a judge will grant either one of my request.
I changed my 7 year olds name to my last name as I just got married. My kids name is listed on the online case search and is all over the record. I am requesting that her name be removed from the record and she is 7 years old.
I have written about 2 pages of arguments but I think they are all pretty weak... as I know I am going to have problems with this considering it had to be published in the paper.
I attempted this once before and it was denied. I think having my name removed from case search is going to be very hard but I really want my kids name off case search. She doesn't need that stigma or issues for your parent getting married to someone else and the kid changing their name.
Can anyone provide any great surefire arguments or reasons to shield or seal a minor child's name? Hopefully some of the legal reasons to shield or seal would be correct in my situation.
