In Arizona there are forms and instructions available online to assist those who wish to change their name. Here is a link to the Maricopa County self service center online page: http://www.superiorcourt.maricopa.gov/SuperiorCourt/Self-ServiceCenter/Forms/CivilCases/civil_cvnc.asp

He can change his name but he will have to file a change of name petition to do so. You should consult an attorney if you need assistance with the forms.

No. He has to go and get a name change through the courts.

He might want to consider changing his name BEFORE your marriage. I don't see a problem if he does that.

He needs to file for a legal name change and comply with the publication requirements.
