This service does not allow me to edit my reply to your response so I am just going to deal with it as if I was answering your question for the first time. What kind of name change forms are you talking about? Are you talking about the ones that are done through the court or are you talking about the ones to change your child's name through the Fl Department of Vital Statistics? If the former is the case, I have to look into this further and get back with you. Please respond to lawofficelbasagoitia@gmail.com Otherwise, I may not see your reply because as I said this service does not let me know when there is a reply. Thank you.
