My step daughter is wanting to hyphenate her last name with mine and my wifes so it will be like our other kids but I cant seem to find a form that i can use to petition to the court with. We are in the state of arkansas so any help would be great. I would also like information on the whole process and all the forms I will need. Her father is consenting to this so it wont be unconsented by him. I just need all the forms for the process of this. Please help if you can...

Go to family court and request a name change for a monor. They will make you fill it out then you will probably have to put a notice in the local paper. That gives a person time to protest. Then you go before a judge and if no problems they almost alway grant it. I live in Cali though so some things may be different.

In that experience, sure you father can try this completely high quality by way of fact he's your criminal parent -- whether she is your mom, she doesnt have any criminal say over your strikes if she isn't the parent. so which you may desire to be high quality. nonetheless, it is purely based off of high quality judgment and easy wisdom of civil rules -- so do no longer anticipate me being one hundred% precise, yet i might anticipate you will haven't any issues of it
