Re: Name Change
As long as both parents agree (which would be true in your case), getting the child's name changed is a matter of simple paperwork and paying about $50 to the clerk of court. You can get an attorney to assist you or check with the special proceedings division of your local courthouse to see if they have the forms you can fill out yourself. You will need to also bring the child's birth certificate and social security card. No criminal record check is needed.
