I live in S.E. Michigan and I have heard something about petitioning the court but have no idea where to start. Can someone give me advise on EXACTLY what steps I can take to do this? My son is 15 and I want to change his middle name to my stepdad's last name (the man who stood up to be my dad and his grandfather and has no siblings to carry on his name). I found a website that wants 69.00 and I am NOT paying that! Any other answers are welcome! :)

You can obtain the detained information at the site below:

If he was born in another state, other than Michigan, do a google search for vital statistics in that state and a similar website should provide you with the details that you need.

go to an attorney, but you have to have a fairly good reason and you can only change a name once, not again.
