This is a question for the lawyers in the family, or others who have made a legal name change.
My Life Partner, Lydia and I are expecting a child in June. ( Related Thread ) We've had a LOT of discussion about a family name, and feel strongly that our child should share a last name with both of us. Neither wants to give up our own, but would be perfectly happy with hyphenating. Luckily, we both have single-sylable last names!
So, I found this site which prepares documents for you to file, and claims that for simple filings, a lawyer may not be necessary. Has anyone ever used these folks, or others like them? Anyone have any experience in changing their name?
Obviously, I don't expect extensive legal advice from SB, but any thoughts from the lawyers on why we SHOULD use the services of a legal proffessional?
Happy Diving,
