Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana
minor child surname change
My wife has a 7 year old daughter from her first marriage which ended with her husbands death. The daughter was 1 year old at the time. We have been married now for just over a year after having been in a relationship for the previous 3 years, and wish to change the girl's name to our shared surname. I have found online documents such as ''Indiana Petition for Change of Name of Minor'', and am wondering if, as the biological father is deceased, is the filing as simple as the form(s) seem to be, or would an attorney be advised. Could any relatives of the deceased fathers have any legal standing and complicate this matter? Any advice would be greatly appreciated
