I am trying to get my child last name changed how do I go about it and how much will it cost me

Check with your county court family court website to see the specific prices. I would assume a local attorney would probably charging $500 Attorney fees plus additional fees. We normall charge $275 plus government and publication fees. Is there a court order in place and will the child father contest the name change or will be in agreement to change the name? If he does not agree than it will not cost the above price. You can expect about $1,500-$2,000 in expense for name change. Feel free to contact my office for a free consultation.
