    Default Changing a Child's Name After Immigration

    If you have the order for a name change, and are simply seeking its formal recognition and application in Florida, you don't need to again go through the name change process. You need to register the foreign (i.e., out-of-state) order in Florida, provide notice to anybody who might object, then at the end of the notice period as the Florida court to enforce the order. A local lawyer should be able to help you through this, if you can't get the help you need from the clerk's office.
    I have a bit of a more complicated issue, my wife and my child are in another country, when they get to the United States how could i go about changing my childs name. On the immigration side, to avoid problems and a lengthy hassle my daughter will be listed as my wifes child, in other words i am marry my wife who has a child thats not biologically mine. I'm doing it this way because the "US Citizen born abroad" and millions of DNA tests and crap will further delay my family from getting here. So i just need to know how to change her last name once she's here (my daughter).

    You would need to follow the laws of whatever state you will be in, including any laws requiring notice to the child's father.
