Name Changes
Name Changes
The Texas family courts handle name changes for children and adults. This is a formal legal process that involves certain steps to be taken before a court will grant a name change. The steps include obtaining a background check through the FBI, providing appropriate notices, and court appearances. When filing for a change of name for a child, both parents must consent to the name change.
After a divorce, a woman may want to revert back to using her maiden name. Texas allows for the option to change a woman’s name within and as part of a pending divorce proceeding. This request must be specifically requested in the pleadings. If not requested, and one decides to change her name after the divorce is finalized, a formal name change proceeding will need to be filed with the Court.
Our office can guide you through the name change process when needed.
