Reasons For Name Changes

More often than not, name changes are the result of divorce. Changing your name during a divorce can be included as part of the divorce process. However, some people wish to wait until later to revert to their maiden name or to change their child's name. Other individuals have reasons for seeking name changes that have nothing to do with marriage or divorce. In these cases, a separate process will be necessary.

As with many legal processes, the procedure for securing a name change is complicated, and making at least one mistake is common and can thwart the entire process. If obtaining a legal name change is important to you, your best option is to secure the assistance of a lawyer experienced with the process.
