Complete the petition and related court documents, then file them with the appropriate court. Court filing fees and local procedures vary by county.
These forms are designed for self-help use, but ILRG does not provide legal advice. Consult a licensed attorney if your situation involves unusual facts, contested issues, or questions about local procedure.
Timing depends on the court, local scheduling, notice requirements, and whether anyone objects. Many name change matters take several weeks, but local timing can vary.
A parent or guardian can usually file a minor name change petition, but notice to or consent from the other parent may be required. Requirements vary by state and county.
No. ILRG provides self-help legal forms and information, not legal advice. You are responsible for reviewing local court requirements before filing.
The court sends notice of the hearing to the child’s parents and guardian (if not the petitioner), so a non-petitioning parent can be heard. The judge decides what is in the child’s best interests.
There is no fixed consent age, but the court must send notice of the hearing to a child who is 12 years of age or older (Rule 47.2(d)), and the judge considers the child’s best interests.
No. Connecticut repealed the Probate Court name-change filing fee effective July 1, 2023 (P.A. 23-204), so filing is free. You still pay for certified copies of the birth certificate and, later, of the decree.
