My question involves name change laws in the State of: Georgia
In changing a minor's child's last name if the other parent's address/location is unknown how is one supposed to present wirtten consent to the court?
The OCGA state that in the case of unknown address/location service can be made through publication in the local newspaper for one day a week for 4 weeks, but the Code stops short of saying what to do regarding the written consent. It appears as though you HAVE to have written consent, yet it does not address what happens in the case of missing parent.
Does anyone have any experience in this situation? or can provide any guidance?
