  1. Las Vegas Legal Name Change Lawyer

  2. If you changed your name during marriage and want to return to your former name, the name you want to return to must be included in your Decree of Divorce. Further, children’s names can be changed during an adoption. For name changes that are not due to marriage, as an adult you have to meet certain requirements which include disclosing any felony convictions and publishing a notice in a newspaper. Marathon attorneys can make this an easy process for you.

  3. A child’s name change requires the consent of both parents unless one parent is deceased, or their rights have been terminated. A child over the age of 14 must also consent to the name change. Once a name change has been approved and ordered by the Court, you will have to change your name with various government agencies. Our experienced Las Vegas Name Change Lawyer provide guidance and support to ensure a smooth transition for name change.

  5. When you adopt a child, the biological parents lose all custody rights to a child and no longer have any financial obligations to the child. For an adoption, the biological parents must consent to the adoption in writing or must have their rights terminated by a court. There is a separate process for Termination of Parental Rights, which must be completed prior to an adoption if there is no consent. There are many steps to a non-relative Las Vegas Adoption Attorney, and you will need an attorney to guide you through these steps and ensure the adoption is completed as soon as possible. All adoptions require a hearing before the Judge, and this is one of the best reasons to have to go to Court.

  6. Stepparent adoption is a slightly easier process. In this case, the stepparent’s spouse (parent of child) and stepparent file the Petition together. The other parent must consent to the adoption, or a Termination of Parental Rights must be completed prior. If not, it will require litigation. When a parent’s rights are terminated, they no longer have a child support obligation. Children over age 14 must consent to the adoption and the child’s name can be changed through the adoption. Nevada also permits adult adoption. For an adult adoption, the person adopting the adult must be older than the person being adopted. In addition, if any party to the adoption is married, their spouse must consent to the adoption. There is no need for biological parents to consent to an adult adoption, but the Judge may require you to provide notice to the parents of the adoption hearing. Marathon Law Group has successfully litigated many terminations and adoptions in the District Court, Appellate Court, and Nevada Supreme Court.
