What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Maryland
I filled a petition for name change of a minor for my daughter to change her middle and last name. The case never went to a judge because I never served the father. The case is still open but I now only want to change her last.
Is there a way I can change this current case to only change her last name or do I need to close it and start a new case? If the earlier, how do I change the current petition to make it only for her last name. If the later, how do I close this case?
Do I need a lawyer for this or is it possible to do it myself?
