My question involves name change laws in the State of: Vermont
This is actually an easy one, because my wife and I are her biological parents. My daughter was born in Mass. My wife and I were not married when she was born so she took my wife's maiden name, as I anticipated that we would go our seperate ways. her name appears that way on the birth certificate and Social Security card. We are both the biological parents, and been married since then, and I've always meant to correct the name since it will run into issues down the line. We now live in St. Albans, Vermont. I've been told by courts in both states that I need to go to the other because she was born in Mass, her birth certificate was issued there, but we live in Vermont and a name change needs to occur in the state that you reside.
