My last name is my mom's maiden hyphened with my dad's. I'm about to get married and would like to change it to just my mom's. How long does this process take? And if anyone knows any other helpful details, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  2. It depends upon where you are filing. If you reside in a large metropolitan area it may take weeks or months to get your petition on the court docket. If you reside in a small county or parish your petition may be on the docket in a few days.
