Reply to comment by queen_of_frustration in changing name in Greene county by anonathen

If you remember, were you given a date to go in front of the judge, or did they give you any instructions for what to do after you submitted your petition?

It's been about seven years so this may be outdated, I had to talk to the family court clerk and file the paperwork. They then set the date to go in front of the judge and back then they also did the putting the name change in the publication, but I think that has since changed.

On Greene county circuit Clerk's website under the name change section, they list their number, I would call them for the most up-to-date info on the process.

You usually don’t have to actually appear in court - usually you’re assigned a court date but the judge typically signs off on it and you don’t have to actually appear. Then you take your court order and publish, a lot easier than I was expecting honestly
