Name Change-Georgia

[mom6399]

What is the name of your state? GA

I saw the post for PA and have googled for name changes in GA, but can't seem to find anything.

NCP no contact for 2 years. $15,000 arrears. Yes, contempt charges have been filed and a writ issued 8/05 with no arrest. It appears he has vanished from the face of the earth.

Child goes by my name and refuses to use fathers name.

Thanks.

The CHILD does not get to make a choice but I'm unsure what your LEGAL question is here.

Sorry, duh....

Is it possible to change a minor child's name in GA? I have full legal and custodial custody and have had for nearly 5 years, child is 6. The name is hyphenated and I simply want to switch the order. Again, NO contact in 2 years, limited, very limited in the 3 years prior.

I have inquired previously about termination and understand that is a difficult task without a step-parent.

Thank you. Sorry for forgetting the question!

You would need to contact the bio parent and have them notified that you are petitioning for the name change. Full custody does not prevent that. If you don't know how to contact PER THE COURT RULES you should contact an attorney to help you with that. It shouldn't really cost a whole lot.

Thank you!

That's enough to get me started.

I have no idea where NCP is. CSE can't seem to find him either...making it difficult to contact him. I'll give it a shot!

Thanks.

Know how mine got found?

I filed for TPR and adoption. After 3 years of CSE making attempts every 2 months to have NCP served for court they were unable to do so. TPR and Adoption was filed in March. Letter was sent to NCP in April (he didn't sign but someone else did), Adoption finalized the end of June and amazingly NCP was served and showed to court the very next month. NCP thought that because the adoption went through the 25k owed was erased!!!

Now, I said NCP got found... didn't say he STAYED found. Court brought him back every 3 months for about a year and a half for compliance hearings (amazing that between him and his employer it still took over a year to have the right amount deducted)... Last hearing was in Feb. where the court didn't redocket and last check sent was the first of April. I just seriously don't think I'll be seeing the rest of the over 20k. Which is TOO funny because I made a deal with him in court, in front of the judge and DA that if he paid 6 months the revised order as it was written I would knock it down by 1/2. Then if he paid that for 6 months I would write off all arrears OWED TO ME. What that meant was for just over 2k he went from owing 23k to 3k.
