Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan
Change name of daughter
I want to my daughtr's name. Since I have matured , I see the benefits of having a name that will bring success to a person. My daughter faces many side remarks and goof-offs because of the spelling of her name. My daughter and I both want the name change. Actually, it is my daughter's idea originally to have her name changed. We agree that we like the name , not the spelling.
The spelling of her name causes people to misprononce it, make fun of it, etc. We have agreeded that 12 years is long enough.
We hope you can help.

You need to file a petition for name change for your daughter in the county in which you reside and in which you have resided for at least one year. There is a specific procedure, and an attorney can help with this process. Please contact me at (248) 305-5840 if you need assistance or if you have further questions.
