Names Are A Big Deal

Something as simple as a name change can have a massive impact on a person. If your child is transgender, if you’ve gone through gender-affirming surgery or if you don’t have the same surname as your children, you know the weight of a name. The name change process matters, and I can help you.

At my firm, Pamela Fero Law PLLC, I routinely help many people seeking to change their or their children’s legal names under Florida family law. While the process is largely administrative, a skilled attorney can guide you effectively and efficiently through the process. I have helped many clients update their names or their children’s names, despite the obstacles and challenges in the process.

Your Name And Your Identity

For transgender individuals, it is common for a person to take on a new name as they become open with their transition process. However, this new name often starts as “informal,” meaning that their old name continues to be on legal documents and identification such as:

Changing Your Child’s Last Name

Another common scenario is a parent seeking to change their child’s last name to match theirs. Sometimes the parent taking care of the child without assistance doesn’t have the same last name as their child. This can become an obstacle at school pickups and in many other areas. However, you don’t have to live with this problem, and I can help you fix it.
