Re: name change notification

Oklahoma law says you must make the publication into a newspaper authorized to make such notices. The court may waive this requirement "for good cause," which means you'll have to convince the judge of your reasoning. Otherwise the notice must only be placed one time, at least ten days prior to the hearing.
