Changing your name is a significant decision that many contemplate for various reasons. Whether it’s due to personal preference, marriage, divorce, or other personal reasons, understanding the legal process is crucial.
The Betz Law Firm is here to assist you through every step of the process, ensuring your name change is handled smoothly and efficiently.
In Missouri, as in most states, you generally have the right to change your name, but certain conditions and legal procedures must be followed. Whether your parents can stop you from changing your name depends on your age and the specific circumstances.
If You Are a Minor (Under 18)
The name change process is more complex for minors and typically requires parental involvement.
If You Are an Adult (18 or Older)
For adults, the process is more straightforward.
The name change process can seem daunting, but it doesn’t have to be.

Our experienced attorneys can help ensure that all legal requirements are met and potential objections appropriately addressed.
