Legal Question in Family Law in California

Name change

I am a 23 yr old male who just moved to Tustin, CA (been living here about 2 months) and recently got married in Las Vegas, Nevada. I would like to change my entire name but have no clue where to start. I read that there may be some shortcuts for newly weds but all I've found is for the BRIDE ONLY. What forms do I need, where do I file them, and what do I pay? Thanks!

Re: Name change

Go to the county court where you reside and file a petition for a name change. Each county's fees are different, so ask the court clerk for a fee schedule.
