Change of Name of Children of Divorced Parents: Proposals Mar 1985

There is currently no obligation to consult a non-custodial parent upon application to change a child’s surname after divorce. The Change of Name Act should be amended so that parental consent is required, except where a court determines that dispensing with consent is in the best interest of the child.

Subject Headings:

Key Terms: children divorce parens patriae doctrine surname change
