Daughter almost 14 wants to change last name
My daugther is almost 14 and would like to change her last name to reflect mine... It is my understanding that at the age of 14 a minor can do this without consent from the other parent... is that accurate information?

Chapter 674 of the Code gives you the procedure. There is no unilateral name changing of a child allowed and you have to serve the respondent with a notice of hearing.
