At Tate Healey Webster, we understand that a name is more than just letters on paper—it’s a part of your identity, your family, and your story. Whether you are finalizing an adoption or seeking a personal name change, we offer trusted, compassionate legal services for name changes in Florida.
Child Name Changes in Florida
Name changes for children are often a natural step following an adoption, helping reflect a new family bond and giving children an intense sense of identity. Sometimes, in adoptions of older children, they are overjoyed at the aspect of choosing their new name and obtaining that fresh start. We also assist families seeking independent name changes for children outside of the adoption process, including:
- Changing a child’s surname.
- Correcting names on official records, including birth certificates.
- Supporting children whose legal names no longer reflect their identity or well-being.
Our name change lawyers in Florida are experienced in navigating Florida’s legal system, ensuring the process is smooth, efficient, and respectful of your family’s needs. We can handle your child’s name change, whether both parents are in agreement or whether the parents disagree on the name change (i.e., a contested situation).
