How to Change a Child’s Name/Surname After Divorce
________________________________________
The legal surname of the child is the surname nominated by the registering parent or parents at the time of the child’s birth. This is often the surname of the child’s father.
In the event the relationship between the parents subsequently breaks down, then one of the parents of the child may wish to change the child’s surname. This usually happens if the mother has adopted the father’s surname at the time of marriage, and subsequently wishes to revert to her maiden name after separation. So that the child does not have a different surname to the mother in that instance, the mother might then seek to change the child’s surname to her own maiden name or hyphenate her maiden name with the father’s name.
In other situations, the mother of the child may remarry and adopt her new husband’s surname and seek that the child from her first marriage also adopt her new husband’s surname. This is particularly the case if the father of the child is estranged from the child and the child views her mother’s second husband as his or her paternal figure.
How to change a child’s name if both parents consent
In the event that the child’s parents are listed on the child’s birth certificate and both consent to a change of name, then the parents may jointly register an application to register a change of name at the Office of Births, Deaths and Marriages.
How to change a child’s name if both parents do not agree
In the event one parent wishes to change a child’s name, and this is opposed by the other parent, then it is advisable the parties participate in mediation to try to resolve the matter. Depending upon the age of the child, the parties may consider that the child also participates in the mediation so they may take into account any views expressed by the child, especially if the child is a teenager.
