QUESTION: How do I contest my daughter's name change? My ex sent me papers in the mail notifying me of a name change for my daughter. Am I served even though I did not sign for them? Also how do i contest it?
MY RESPONSE: You don't need to sign to get served. If you want to contest your daughter's name change, you can file and serve a Declaration opposing the name change setting forth your reasons for your opposition, and show up at the scheduled hearing to testify. You should consider the alienation that might occur to your relationship with your daughter if you oppose something she wants for herself, before you decide whether or not to contest her name change. On the other hand, if your ex is filing to change the name of your minor daughter, and you don't want her name changed, you would best consult with, if not retain, and experienced Family Law Attorney to contest the name change.
