What is the process for legally changing a child's name?

I just want to add my maiden name to their middle names, but not hyphenate.

What is the process for legally changing a child's name?
In the US you can legally change a child's name for free until they reach the age of 2. Over the age of 2 you need to pay for name changes. It isn't that big of a deal,you only have to fill out and file paperwork at the county courthouse in either instance. Contact your local Social Services or Human services Dept. They should be able to help you and point you in the right direction to get the process started.
Reply:You must go through a judicial process to legally change a person's name. Consult an attorney licensed in your jurisdiction. It should not cost more than $1,000.
Reply:In general in the US a person may use any name he or she wants as long as he or she is not committing a fraud or hiding a crime. So, you can just add your maiden name to the child's name without having to go to court; especially as you indicate this will be an additional middle name.





If you want to go the court route, the procedure and the cost vary from state to state. The procedure is usually fairly straight-forward, filling out of forms and such. Nolo Press has How to Change Your Name books for some states, check Amazon.com.





Your local courthouse may have a law library which should include the forms needed, find the library, verify when its open, and ask the librarian.





In California the Courts have pre-packaged sets of the forms needed with instructions.





Contact your local Legal Aid and see if they can help.





If you don't want to do it yourself, call several attorneys and see what the going rate for fees and costs is.

Reply:you can call your child what ever you want to. the law says that as long as you dont use it illegally it is ok. you cannot change what is on the birth certificate.
Reply:You actually don't need to pay an attorney you can do it yourself. You need to go through the legal procedures before you go to Social Security and to the Department of Motor Vehicles because they need to see the approval by a Judge by law. They won't make these changes without the Court ordered approved petition. You go to Civil Court in your State and County where you live. They will give you the following papers needed to be filled out and processed. You need both husband and yourself consent, or permission of the baby's father to sign a certified copy of permission for the court to change your child's name by law. You need an original and copy of your and child's birth certificate, photo ID such as Driver's license or Passport, a marriage certificate if you are married, your husband's ID and or the father's baby's ID. Both you guys must be present by law. You have to give proof of where you live like a lease or a gas, electric or light bill. You need to advertise this in a newspaper that will print this change for a week and then you will get an affidavit of service by this newspaper to give back to the Judge. After the Judge OK's this and it is in the paper for a week, you can go ahead and make the changes to obtain a new birth certificate and ID and all further changes needed for their new name. I just got mine and my son's changed, so, I didn't want to pay an attorney's fee. This all cost approx $200 max.
Reply:Local courthouse is the first stop. In my state you have to file a petition for legal name change. Social security cannot do this until you have documentation of legal name change.
Reply:In England u can easily change a childs name as long as both parents agree, thirty mins in a solicitor's office and it's done!

Do you know the name of this children's book?

I don't remember much, but I think it is about a boy who goes into a forest and falls asleep against a tree and dreams about and indian or maybe he talks to the tree and the tree talks back telling him stories I really don't know much. I know we read it in the 5th grade and I really liked but I can't remember much about it.

Title of a Children's book about a Chinese boy with many names. ?

When I was a kid there was this book in the library of this boy with like, 9 first names. He was the eldest. He had a little brother whose name was like "Chang" or something. Well, the boy with like, 9 names falls down a well and the little boy goes to try to tell his mom and he can't say all the names like "so and so and so and so and so and so and so and so fell down the well" but he gets winded, and I think the kid dies? i'm not sure. Either way, the boys little name is the title of the book and I can't figure it out!

Porcupining:A prickly love story is about a lonley porcopine in a petting zoo--lol--who finds his true love.
Reply:just one about horace hedgehog ..
Reply:There are several (woodland critters are a popular topic for characters) - do you remember anything about how hard the book was, how "cartoony" the illustrations were, whether it was a series, or the plot of the book(s)?





Little Critter is probably a pretty good bet - they were widely published, and did feature porcupines. They also had a cricket and a spider on each page. I belive they're by Mercer Meyer.

What was the children's book series that was named after vegetables? Rhubarb, Zucchini, etc.?

I was a child in the 80s if that helps!

Okay, Veggie Tales definitely didn't exist in the 80's...





I think that you are talking about the Munch Bunch. They were a series of books published until the mid-80's. I remember them from my early years too. The Munch Bunch were a group of unwanted vegetables, fruits, legumes and nuts who were swept to the corner of a shop but ran away together and set up home in and around an old, forgotten garden shed. There are a whole bunch of books in the series and a whole bunch of characters - I loved them as a kid.





If you want more info, I bet a google search would be useful.


Hope that helps.

This is a bit stupid but can anyone remember these children's books and perhaps tell me the names of them?

I had a series of books which I think may have been written by a well known author but my mum thinks that she bought them for like 拢1 in Woolworths (which would mean that no one would be able to help me probably!).





I can remember two of the stories:


1) A boy goes in the woods and finds a little house. He goes in, finds a pair of red shoes and puts them on. But he puts them on his hands or something and the shoes make him walk for miles on his hands because they have a spell on them. It turns out that they were a dwarf鈥檚 and he tells the boy that he should never take anyone鈥檚 things.


2) A boy loses his kitten, he鈥檚 sad so he goes looking for it in the woods and he finds some fairies and tells them what鈥檚 happened. The fairies make all the cotton buds from a cotton plant come alive into furry little kittens and the boy finds his kitten.





My memory is a bit off but I鈥檇 appreciate it if you could tell me the name of the books or the author. Or just tell me if any of this rings a bell, at least I鈥檒l know it wasn鈥檛 just me who read them lol.


There was another book that wasn鈥檛 part of the series but it was about a boy and a girl who would go out to play near the woods (it鈥檚 all about the woods lol) and they鈥檇 see a big white creature hiding behind the trees. They become friends with it or something 鈥?any ideas? The girl had a blue and white dress and blond hair.

Try posting that question here. They get amazing results, sometimes very quickly.
Reply:This sounds like the Enid Blyton collection, 'The Tower in HoHo Wood'. This rings a bell with me!
Reply:Suggest you put some of this information into a search box at the following link, after you read the list of books already there to see if any fit what you're looking for:

If this site doesn't suit you, suggest calling the reference librarian at a public library, in the children's section, and ask there. Those people are trained, have search tools, and know their books.
