If One Parent Will Not Agree to a Name Change

If one parent will not agree to have a child's name changed, the other parent can
file papers to request the change. The non-consenting parent must be served with
copies of the name change papers and given a chance to object. A judge may or may
not grant a child's name change without the other parent's consent. Read on for
more information about how to petition for a child's name change when only one
parent is asking for the name change.

FYI!
If you were served with paperwork showing the other parent wants to change a
child's name and you disagree, you can file an "Objection" to the proposed name
change. This must be filed within 10 business days of when you receive the
paperwork. You can find the instructions and forms needed to do this in the
Objection Packet.

About Child Name Changes

Children who are residents of Clark County, Nevada can have their names legally
changed through the family court. A parent must file for the name change on behalf
of the child and explain the reason for the name change. The judge will grant a
name change if it is the best interest of the child.

Typically, both parents must agree to have a child's name changed. However, one
parent can ask for a name change and serve the other parent with the name change
papers to see if the other parent will object.

You cannot avoid notifying a parent about a child's proposed name change just
because the parent is not involved in the child's life or the parent's location is
unknown. You will have to search for the parent and make sure they are served with
the name change papers after filing. A judge may grant the name change without the
other parent's consent, but the other parent does have a right to know about the
proposed name change and object if he/she does not agree.

FYI!
If the non-consenting parent is deceased or their rights were terminated, one
parent can ask for a name change without notifying the other parent. If one of
these situations apply, please follow the instructions for Name Changes When
Parents Agree.
How to Have a Child's Name Changed
CAUTION!
Some judges have different requirements than those explained below. If you have
questions, contact the judge's staff to find out what the judge assigned to your
case requires. Always follow the judge's directions if they are different from
those given here.

A name change for a child is not guaranteed without the other parent's consent.
