Description
FORM CN.1 - AFFIDAVIT OF PROOF OF DUE DILIGENCE TO LOCATE PARENT IN A MINOR NAME CHANGE/CONFORMITY. This form is used in the Summit County Probate Court during proceedings to legally change the name of a minor. It is required when one parent or legal party cannot be located in order to receive notice of the name change request. The individual completing the form must detail the steps they have taken to try to find the missing party, including checking directories, public records, social media, and contacting known associates or relatives. This sworn affidavit demonstrates to the court that the filer has made a reasonable effort—known as “due diligence”—to locate the individual. If the court is satisfied with the effort, it may permit service by publication, meaning legal notice will be published in a newspaper (such as the Akron Legal News) instead of being delivered in person. www.FormsWorkflow.com
