i am married and have another child my husband has been known as his father since he was 2. He really wants his last name to be the same as all of ours.....how do i go about getting it changed and how much will it cost????any info. would be greatly appreciated!!

Answer 1

Me,

It's free to change one's name. The link below will take you to the forms to do this.

Good luck.

Enjoy!

Answer 2

You petition for a surname change, pay a court fee ($75 when I changed my adopted name back to my family name probably twice that now) tell the judge your reason. If the father objects things get real sticky and it's too expensive to pursue.What county do you live in?
