Does anybody have any idea on the laws and limitations on name change in TN?
Well my girlfriend wants to change her last name to mine. She has no criminal record what-so-ever.
Let me try to search.
Check with the County courts to see which can handle it, I believe I read where Probate or a Circuit court can. The "local" rules of court may also have some rules on this state law also:
29-8-102. Petition. —
The application to change the name or to correct an error in a birth certificate shall be by petition, in writing, signed by the applicant and verified by affidavit, stating that the applicant is a resident of the county, and giving the applicant's reasons for desiring the change or correction.
It is best to hire an attorney to file a Petition to change the name.
