Dear Sir/Madam:

This is in response to your email of February 12, 2001.

It is possible to have your daughter�s name changed without her father�s consent. You will need to file a petition with the probate court in the county in which you reside and attend a hearing before a judge.

Sincerely,

Charles L. Nichols
