What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
I was reading another thread and have a quick question. If my sister were to petition to have my nephew's name changed to her last name, and dad didn't show- is there a better chance of a judge approving it? She recently was able to draw the conclusion that dad will not go near a courtroom unless the police are bringing him (probably due to outstanding warrants)... and given the fact that the father and his GF have threatened my nephew's life (documented in police reports), she really would like to have this done.
Thank you.
