Petition For Minor Name Change {492}

Form 492 - PETITION FOR MINOR NAME CHANGE. These forms are used in the Family Court of the State of Delaware to request a legal name change for a minor child. The Petition for Minor Name Change is submitted by a petitioner, typically a parent or legal guardian, who seeks to change the child’s legal name. The form requires details about the petitioner, the child, and any known parents or legal guardians (referred to as Respondents), including their agreement or opposition to the name change. The petition must also include the reason for the proposed name change and information about any legal issues involving the child, such as delinquency charges or registration requirements. If either parent agrees to the name change, they are encouraged to submit a signed Affidavit of Parental Consent to Petition for Minor Name Change, which confirms that the parent voluntarily consents to the request and waives service and hearing rights. If the child is 14 years of age or older, the child may also submit an Affidavit of Child 14 Years of Age or Older to express agreement or disagreement with the name change. Supporting documents, such as a certified birth certificate, court orders for guardianship (if applicable), and death certificates (if applicable), must also be submitted. www.FormsWorkflow.com
