Re: name change

Good Morning: In California, file a petition in the domestic/divorce courts. It is quite simple and you do not need approval of anyone since you are over 18 years of age. Once approved by court, make certain you change Social Security, etc., etc. Thanks for Question., Don Holben 800-685-6950.
