Name Change
Sometimes people wish to change their names or the names of their children. Both require a judicial order to change a name (save for name change upon marriage). Filing paperwork in court and complying with the unforgiving procedures can be daunting for a non-attorney.

Nevada law permits a person to change his/her first, middle, and/or last name--same for children. As a child name change is a legal custody decision, the other parent with joint legal custody must approve the name change. If a parent has sole legal custody, that parent does not need permission of the other parent, but must notify the parent of the name change.
